Paper Abstract
Both nettle (Urtica dioica) and cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus) are widely known to have good influence on health.
The aim of this study was to investigate antimicrobial properties of nettle powder and cranberry powder against
Escherichia coli (E. coli) and monitor the growth of the bacteria by a rapid flow cytometry (FCM) method. For FCM
measurements samples were stained with fluorescent dyes. The inhibitory effects of plant material on growth of E. coli
were estimated by comparing the results of control sample (E. coli) to E. coli samples with plant material. FCM offers
both a brilliant tool to investigate the kinetics of the growth of bacterium, since subsamples can be taken from the same
liquid medium during the growing period and with fluorescent dyes a rapid method to investigate viability of the
bacterium.
