title: Antimicrobial activity of the resins obtained from the roots and stems of Cedrus libani and Abies cilicica.
abstract: The antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract of resins obtained from the roots and stems of Cedrus libani and Abies cilicica was investigated using a disc diffusion method. Results revealed that crude extracts of the resins of both plants are highly effective against tested microorganisms by preventing their growth to a greater extent.
