Purpose. In traditional Korean medicine Artemisia apiacea H. (ART) and Scutellaria baicalensis G. (SCU) are combined for the treatment of malaria and other malaria-like diseases. Because SCU is well-known as an antibacterial agent the antimicrobial effect of a mixture of ART and SCU was investigated. Methodology. Plant samples were purchased from Kyungdong mart and extracted with 70 % ethanol.

1. Introduction Bacteriophages, or simply phages, are viruses that infect and replicate within bacterial cells, exerting considerable influence on microbial ecosystems [1]. While phages are known to be highly diverse and widespread across various environments, one intriguing subset that has garnered significant interest in the field of environmental viral ecology is the cold-active bacteriophages [2].
