Abstract

In this study, antimicrobial activity of some natural dyes in solution and % bacterial reduction of dyed wool samples
were investigated. Four natural dyes; curcumin (Curcuma longa.), stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) , walnut leaf (Juglans
regia), camomile (Matricaria chamomilla) were tested against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Shigella sonnei
RSKK 877, Escherichia coli ATCC 35218, Bacillus megaterium RSKK 5117, Bacillus subtilis RSKK 244, Bacillus cereus
RSKK 863, S.epidermidis, Salmonella 21.3 by using disc diffusion method. In the next set of the experiments the
antimicrobial activity of dyed wool specimens were tested. A reduction of bacterial growth were determined on wool
samples dyed with natural dyes.
