The Seasonal Fluctuation of the Antimicrobial Activity of Some Macroalgae Collected from Alexandria Coast, Egypt

Infectious diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide (WHO 2004). Synthetic drugs are not only expensive but are also often with adulterations and side effects. Therefore, there is a need to search for new strategies to control microbial infections (Sieradzki and Tomasz 1999). Pharmaceutical industries are increasingly recognizing the importance of compounds derived from soil plants and other sources such as marine organisms (McGee 2006).
