Summary: A TLC bioautography protocol to test the constituents of plant extracts and essential oils for antibacterial activity was adapted and optimised from the methods described in Smith et al. (2007) and Hamburger & Cordell (1987). The protocol described here has been used successfully with a number of non-fastidious organisms, plant extracts and essential oils. The procedure is economical, easy to undertake and the results easily interpreted. In addition to initially screening plants for antibacterial constituents, the TLC bioautography can inform compound isolation work.References:Hamburger, M. O., Cordell, G. A., 1987.
