| Abstract: | In vitro antimicrobial efficacy of root extracts of Murraya koenigii (Linn.) Spreng. was assessed by disc diffusion
method against four bacterial strains (Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia
coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi) and three fungal strains (Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Trichophyton rubrum). Minimum
inhibitory concentration was also determined. The most susceptible bacterial and fungal strains were S. aureus and T. rubrum, respectively. The root extracts in organic solvents (hexane,
methanol and chloroform) showed good antimicrobial activity. However, aqueous
extracts could not exhibit any activity. Results of the present investigation
indicate that root of M. koenigii
possess antimicrobial properties and hence can be exploited for future natural
plant based antimicrobial agents. |
