title: Bacteriostatic effect of flavonoids isolated from leaves of Psidium guajava on fish pathogens.
abstract: The antimicrobial activity against fish bacterial pathogens of flavonoids (morin, morin-3-O-lyxoside, morin-3-O-arabinoside, quercetin, and quercetin-3-O-arabinoside) isolated from the leaves of Psidium guajava was evaluated. The flavonoids were shown to have bacteriostatic effect on all of the tested bacteria.
