Determination of antimicrobiol activity in solid medium

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Utirose on antimicrobial activity in solid medium. This method is an adaptation from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention / US Department of Health & Human Services / USA.gov.
The diffusion in agar-agar medium is used.

Suspensions are realized with a level of contamination of 107 UFC/ml for Escherichia coli and 106 UFC/ml for Candida albicans.
Utirose gives great results on the antimicrobial inhibition on bacteria and yeast in solid medium.

Utirose gives significant result on the antimicrobial efficicency on E. coli and C. albicans on solid medium. Comparison with commercial cranberry extract has also be done.
