Sažetak
Paliurus spina-christi Mill. (Rhamnaceae), also known as Christs thorn, is a perennial thorny shrub of widespread distribution in dry and rocky places in Mediterranean region and Asia. In Croatia, this plant grows along the Adriatic coast and on the islands. Christs thorn is used as a diuretic, against diarrhoea and rheumatism in traditional Croatian herbal medicine. Chemical investigations indicate the presence of the flavonoids isoquercitrin, rutin, hyperoside and quercetin-3-O-triglycoside. No literature could be found in respect of the antimicrobial activity of Paliurus spina-christi. The antibacterial effect of extracts from different plant parts was therefore investigated
