We tested extracts from Bryoria capillaris, against human and plant pathogenic bacteria Pantoea ananatis, Burkholderia cepacia, Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteridis, Enterococcus faecalis, in disc diffusion and liquid medium tests. Kanamycin and Tetracycline were used as positive controls. We obtained two fractions, which contain barbatolic acid and alectorialic acid as major substances, with potent antimicrobial activity in liquid medium and microdilution tests while having no or negligible antimicrobial activity in disc diffusion tests.
