| Abstract: | The present investigation encompasses antibacterial potential of three medicinal
plants used by the tribals of Nilgiris for the treatment of various skin
ailments. About 18 extracts at three concentrations (10, 5, 2.5 mg/ml) of
different plant parts of Siegesbeckia orientalis Linn., Berberis tinctoria Lesch. and Justicia betonica Linn. were tested against pathogenic
bacteria, viz. Aeromonas hydrophila,
Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella
typhi, Salmonella sp., Staphylococcus
aureus, Vibrio cholerae and V. parahemolyticus. All the extracts
exhibited broader antibacterial activity against the tested pathogens. |
