The objective of this study was to determine the antibacterial effect of all Ballota species growing in Turkey on four strains of Listeria. Ethanol extracts of sixteen Ballota species were tested against 4 different Listeria isolates (Listeria monocytogenes, L. ivanovii, L. innocua, L. murrayi) by the agar diffusion method. All plants showed higher antilisterial activity against L. monocytogenes. The extracts of B. nigra subsp. anatolica, B. cristata, B. nigra subsp. foetida, B. rotundifolia, B. nigra subsp. uncinata, B. pseudodictamnus subsp. lycia and B. saxatilis subsp. saxatilis have highest antilisterial activity against L. monocytogenes. Among these species B. nigra subsp. anatolica, B. cristata and B. nigra subsp. foetida have also antilisterial activity against L.ivanovii, L. innocua and L. murrayi.
