The harmful effects that antibiotics may have on human health and increased resistance of microorganisms on antibiotics made pharmaceutical companies look for new alternatives among medicinal and aromatic plants. Recently, as a new strategy to enhance antimicrobial activities of commercial antibiotics, the combination of plant extracts and antibiotics is developing. The aim of the study was to examine the potential synergistic effect of plant extracts with streptomycin. The minimum inhibitory concentration of two extracts obtained from traditional medicinal plants, Alchemilla vulgaris and Frangula alnus, was determined by the microdilution method. The effect of a mixture of extracts and antibiotics was tested with checkerboard assay and confirmed by Time kill assay. The most sensitive strain was E. coli ATCC 25922.
