Antibacterial activity of hexanic extracts from four Pleurotus djamor (white and
pink varieties) strains was evaluated against bacterial strains of Bacillus subtillis,
Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter agglomerans, Shigella dysenteriae, Yersinia
enterocolitica, Klebsiella rhinoescleromatis, and K. pneumoniae. The antibacterial activity
8 was determined by the disk diffusion method of Kirby Bauer, with 1.5 × 10 CFU / mL of
bacterial concentration. After 16 to 18 h of incubation, white variety strains (IE200 and IE201)
presented higher antibacterial activities than pink variety basidiomes (ECS127R and RP),
developed inhibition halos with diameters from 12±0.5 to 25.6±1.2 mm and 8.3±0.3 to
22.6±1.4 mm, respectively.
