Abstract

The ethanol extracts (70%) of 45 plants grown in Greece were screened for antibacteriophage properties against 6 bacteriophages: coliphages T₁, T₂, T₄, T₇, φX174, and MS₂- Eight samples were found to induce a significant antiphage activity and can be used as material for further antiviral studies in vitro and in vivo.
