MELGAREJO, Marcela; MOLLINEDO, Patricia e VILA CASTRO, José. ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF FOUR NATURAL PRODUCTS FROM A BOLIVIAN HIGHLANDS PLANT. Rev. Bol. Quim [online]. 2006, vol.23, n.1, pp.40-43. ISSN 0250-5460.
The study was conducted to evaluate the antibacterial potential activity of four natural compounds isolated from different higher plants collected from Pazña (Oruro - Bolivia) on the Bolivian Altiplano. Antibacterial activity was evaluated against ten bacterial strains. Agar ditch diffusion method was used to study the antibacterial activity of these compounds. Three of these four compounds exhibited considerable antibacterial activity.
