Filipendula: Antibiotic activity of meadowsweet by Paul Bergner Medical Herbalism 6(1):13 Antibiotic activity was examined in the rhizomes leaves, flowers, and upper stems. An alcohol extract of the plant was mixed with a water extract of the plant (1 ml = 1 g herb) and found to be effective against Streptococcus pyogenes hemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus hemolyticus, Escherichia coli, Shigella flexneri, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Bacillus subtilis in concentrations of 5% and 10% (g extract to 100 ml culture medium). Summary: Most of you know Filipendula ulmaria for its antirheumatic, anodyne, and diuretic effects. It appears to have some antimicrobial activity as well. Csedo
