Materials and Methods: In the current study, antimicrobial activity of the fresh fruits of 4
cultivars (A to D) of Malus domestica cultivated in the Qamsar area of Kashan, Iran was
investigated. The disk diffusion and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) evaluation
antimicrobial activity tests were performed. Results: The samples showed moderate
antimicrobial activities with inhibition zones from 11 to 16 mm in these tests. Cultivar D with
inhibition zones of 16, 14, and 12 mm for E. coli, S. epidermidis and K. pneumoniae …

Cultivar D with inhibition zones of 16, 14, and 12 mm for E. coli, S. epidermidis and K. pneumoniae, respectively exhibited the best results in these tests. Cultivar A also showed a zone of inhibition of 11 mm against P. aerouginosa.
Conclusion: Moderate antimicrobial activities were observed for the studied apple cultivars.
