| Abstract: | The aim of the study was to evaluate the antimicrobial property of five
medicinal plants, viz. Ocimum basilicum Linn.,
Peltophorum ferrugineum (Decne)
Benth., Phyllanthus fraternus Webster,
Triumfetta rotundifolia Lam. and Ziziphus nummularia (Burm.f.) Wight
& Arn. found in India.
The plants were extracted using cold percolation method with different
solvents (petroleum ether, acetone and methanol) against four Gram
positive bacteria, four Gram negative bacteria and two fungi by agar well diffusion method. Micrococcus flavus and Proteus vulgaris were the most
susceptible bacteria and Candida tropicalis was the most susceptible
fungi among the screened microorganisms. Amongst the plants screened,
P. ferrugineum showed
best antibacterial activity in both acetone and methanol extracts. |
