It is an endemic plant in our country and the number of plants used for traditional treatment is quite high. For this reason, academic institutions in the regions where endemic plants are found should focus on these type studies. The aim of this study to investigate the effectiveness of Armoracia rusticana insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Horseradish);, which grows abundantly in Kars Region insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Turkey);, against Gram negative and Gram positive various bacteria strains. Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia enterocolitica and Serratia marcescens strains were used for the study. Chosen bacterial strains are the most common infectious agents seen in our society. It is planned to examine the selected Armoracia rusticana insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Horseradish); plant in three different parts by extracting direct section, pulp and extract. Thus, it was aimed to determine which part on the root exerts its antibacterial effect. Agar Well Diffusion Method were used in this study. Antibacterial effects were obtained in all gram-positive bacteria and in two of five gram negative bacteria.
