| Abstract: | Aqueous and alcoholic extracts of plant parts of Athyrium pectinatum (Wall.) Presl. were
tested against the growth of some human and plant pathogenic bacteria like,
Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Escherichia coli, Salmonella arizonae, Salmonella
typhi and Staphylococcus aureus. Nearly all the extracts were found
effective against these bacteria. The positive results so obtained were compared
with that of the reference standard antibiotic (Tetracycline). It was found that
extracts when mixed in equal proportion with the antibiotic were more effective
against bacteria than the antibiotic alone. |
