Key points

  • Extracts of the Mediterranean culinary-medicinal Oyster mushrooms Pleurotus eryngii var. eryngii, P. eryngii var. ferulae, P. eryngii var. elaeoselini, and P. nebrodensis were tested for their in vitro growth inhibitory activity against a group of bacterial reference strains of medical relevance: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, S. epidermidis RP62A, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442, and Escherichia coli ATCC10536
  • All of the Pleurotus species analyzed inhibited the tested microorganisms in varying degrees
  • The data included in this paper for P. nebrodensis and P. eryngii var. elaeoselinii are new reports
