Abstract
The paper presents data about the antimicrobial activity of the autochthonous compound of taninic source Enoxil. The minimal inhibitory and bactericidal/fungicidal concentrations were established for some skin and wound infectious agents. It was established, based on Pseudomonas bacteria model, that the Enoxil compound suppress the activity of some important enzymes—a phenomenon that leads to the increase of bacterial sensibility to many tested antibiotics.
