Abstract :In present study, antibacterial properties of leathers prepared by different tanning processes such as chromium, vegetable insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mimosa, Quebracho); and wet-white insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Modified glutaraldehyde); were analyzed by qualitative and quantitative tests. Also, the surface morphology of leathers was imaged by Scanning Electron Microscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SEM);. Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 33862, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Bacillus cereus NRRL-B-3711 as test microorganisms were used. According to results, the antibacterial activity of the leather samples with treated vegetable insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(quebracho, mimosa); was higher than with treated chromium and wet-white. Moreover, the leathers with treated vegetable were effective against S. aureus . We considered that the antibacterial properties of leathers can be improved by various plant extracts. According to the SEM images, while there were small pores in the vegetable and wet-white tanned leathers, there were large pores in the chromium tanned leathers. SEM data were verified by imageJ analysis.
