| Abstract: | In this study an attempt was made to assess the antibacterial potential of three medicinal plants used by tribals
in Maruthamalai hills, Coimbatore District, Tamil Nadu. Antibacterial activity
of 35 extracts at three different concentrations of various plant parts of
Strychnos nux-vomica Linn., Pergularia daemia R.
Br. and Toddalia asiatica var. floribunda Lam. collected from Maruthamalai hills, in Western Ghats was
evaluated against certain bacterial pathogens such as Aeromonas hydrophila,
Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and
Salmonella typhi. All the extracts exhibited tested antibacterial activity
at higher concentrations. |
