对5种常见中草药进行提取和抑菌实验，研究表明蒲公英对所选的霉菌具有很强的抑制作用，其50 ℃的水提液和50%乙醇粗提液对选用霉菌的MIC值均相同，分别是：0.25 g/mL，0.125 g/mL，0.5 g/mL，对应的山梨酸钾的MIC值是：0.1 g/mL，0.1 g/mL和0.8 g/mL。

Bacteriostatic effects of extracts of five common antibacterial Chinese herbs were studied here. Results showed that Taraxacum extracts by 50 ℃ water extraction had the same MIC values with 50% ethanol extraction of Taraxacum, which were 0.25 g/mL, 0.125 g/mL, 0.5 g/mL, respectively. And the potassium sorbate possessed the strongest antifungal activities with 0.1 g/mL, 0.1 g/mL and 0.8 g/mL.
