Objectives : This experimental study was performed to investigate antibiosis of decoctions made by Cassiae Semen(CaS), Celosiae Semen(CeS) and Buddlejae Flos(BF). Methods : Decoctions made by CaS. CeS and BF were prepared. After administering decoctions made by CaS. CeS and BF on bacterial species(Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Condida albicans) which cause Keratitis, the size of inhibition zone and MIC(Minimum Inhibition Concentration) were measured Results : The inhibition zone on bacterial species didn't appear, after administering decoctions made by CaS, CeS and BF. Conclusions : This experimental study is showed that decoctions made by CaS, CeS and BF don't have antibiosis on bacterial species which cause Keratitis.
