It was previously shown that some parts of , which is commonly known as oud or oodh, such as roots have been used as a traditional medical herbal in different countries. In Turkey is one of the ingredients while preparing famous Mesir paste, which was invented as a medicinal paste and used from the Ottoman period to now at least for 500 years. The identification the antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract of roots is main purpose of this analysis.
By using 17 bacteria and 1 fungi, which include Bacillus, Candida, Enterobacter, Enterococcus, Escherichia, Klebsiella, Listeria, Pseudomonas, Salmonella and Staphylococcus genera, the activity of root extracts were analysed by the help of the disk diffusion method, that is one of the methods commonly used to determine antimicrobial activities.
As a result of the study it was observed that ethanol extracts of roots have a clear antimicrobial activity against nearly all microorganism used in the study, but only two bacteria namely ATCC 25922 and SL 1344.
According to the disk diffusion test results it may be possible to propose that roots should have a medicinal uses especially against , ATCC 7644, DSMZ 1971, DSMZ 1386, DSMZ 20044 and ATCC 25923.
先前研究表明，沉香（通常被称为伽罗或乌德）的某些部分，如根部，在不同国家被用作传统草药。在土耳其，沉香是制备著名的密西腊糊剂的成分之一，该糊剂作为药用糊剂发明于奥斯曼时期，至今至少已使用了500年。本分析的主要目的是鉴定沉香根乙醇提取物的抗菌活性。
使用17种细菌和1种真菌，包括芽孢杆菌属、念珠菌属、肠杆菌属、肠球菌属、大肠杆菌属、克雷伯菌属、李斯特菌属、假单胞菌属、沙门氏菌属和葡萄球菌属，借助纸片扩散法分析沉香根提取物的活性，纸片扩散法是常用的测定抗菌活性方法之一。
研究结果表明，沉香根乙醇提取物对研究中使用的几乎所有微生物都有明显的抗菌活性，但仅对两种细菌即大肠埃希氏菌ATCC 25922和鼠伤寒沙门氏菌SL 1344无抗菌活性。
根据纸片扩散试验结果，可能可以提出沉香根尤其对肺炎克雷伯菌ATCC 7644、肠炎沙门氏菌DSMZ 1971、伤寒沙门氏菌DSMZ 1386、甲型副伤寒沙门氏菌DSMZ 20044和金黄色葡萄球菌ATCC 25923具有药用价值。
