Objective : This experimental study was performed to investigate the effect of Hwangryunhaedoktang Herbal-acupuncture & extract on Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis that induce keratitis. Methods : MIC was measured by dropping to according to density Hwangryunhaedoktang Herbal-acupuncture & extract(100%, 10%, 1%, 0.1%). Anti-bacterial potency was measured by the size of inhibition zone With change of volume. Results : 1. MIC on Staphylococcus aureus in Hwangryunhaedoktang Herbal-acupuncture & extract were not disappear all sample. 2. MIC on Staphylococcus epidermidis in Hwangryunhaedoktang Herbal-acupuncture & extract were not disappear all sample. Conclusions : The present author think that Hwangryunhaedoktang Herbal-acupuncture must be extract a new method for anti-bacterial potency.
