Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this study the antibacterial efficiency of different organic extracts from Centaurea cyanus (L.) growing wild in Kosovo were examined. Methanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, diethyl ether, water and chloroform extracts were tested against three gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (food isolate), Staphylococus aureus (clinical isolate), Listeria monocytogenes (clinical isolate) one gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli (clinical isolate). The antibacterial activity was determined by using agar disc diffusion method. The inhibition zone of extracts was compared to that of penicillin G as standard. Based on the results, the most intense activity was shown by the plant‘s extracts with water and ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract showed activity in all of the concentrations 1, 3 and 5 mg/mL towards S. aureus (food isolate), E. coli (clinical isolate), S. aureus (clinical isolate) and L. Monocytogenes (clinical isolate). Ethyl acetate extract of the plant with concentration 5 mg/ mL showed a stronger antibacterial activity towards bacteria E. coli with inhibition zone of 12 mm. Aqueous extract of the plant with concentration 5 mg/ mL showed a stronger antibacterial activity against bacteria E. coli with inhibition zone of 12 mm. Also aqueous extracts of the C. cyanus (L.) showed a stronger antibacterial activity as penicillin G against bacteria S.s aureus (clinical isolate). From the obtained results, the most antibacterial activity has water and ethyl acetate extracts. The antibacterial activity of the C. cyanus (L.) was due to the presence of various secondary metabolites such as phenols and flavonoids. Hence, this plant can be used to discover bioactive natural products that may serve as leads in the development of new pharmaceuticals.
