Abstract
In this article we studied the anti-bacterial activity of the extract from testa of Ginkgo biloba and ginkgolic acids. They can inhibit the growth of Staphylocococus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus and MRSA. Ginkgolic acids combined with peniciline can enhance their inhibitory activity to MRSA.
