Antimicrobial effects of Camellia japonica L. were determined against Escherichia coil, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes using paper disc method, and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were measured. Methanol extract (MEex), water fraction (WAfr), and butanol fraction (BUfr) showed antimicrobial effects against all tested microorganisms, with MEex showing strong antimicrobial effect against S. aureus and L. monocytogenes, and WAfr, Bufr, and ethylacetate fraction (EAfr) against S. aureus. NO effects were observed in n-hexane fraction (HEfr) and chloroform fraction (CHfr) against all tested microorganisms.
