Abstract: To explore the antibacterial activity of Pholmis pratensis, the author screened best extraction solvent of Pholmis pratensis and studied its inhibitory effect. The filter paper method and the double dilution method were used to investigate the antibacterial activities of different Pholmis pratensis solvent extracts, and its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined. The results showed that 95% ethanol and ethyl acetate extract of Pholmis pratensis had strong antibacterial effect. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 95% ethanol extract to Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus were 0.25, 0.0625, 0.0625 g/mL respectively and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were 0.25, 0.125, 0.125 g/mL. Pholmis pratensis had obvious inhibitory effect and different solvent extracts had different antimicrobial effect.
