| Abstract: | Bacteriostatic efficacy of 16 crude extracts derived from different parts
of Argemone mexicana Linn.
(Papaveraceae) has been analyzed on enteropathogenic bacteria such as Klebsiella oxytoca, Vibrio damsella, Enterobacter aerogenes
and Escherichia coli. The
bacteriostatic efficacy was elucidated using single disc diffusion method. The
minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extracts showing higher efficacy
against the test organisms was determined. The MICs of acetone extract of seed
and aqueous extract of leaf on different bacteria tested were found to be
between 0.005-0.02 mg/disc. |
