For a long time, plants have been a valuable source of medicines and to study this objective, we found the antibacterial activity of plants. In the present study, the antibacterial activity of leaf extracts of eight plants Dhatura (Datura stramonium), Graveyard plant (Catharanthus roseus), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), Lantana (Lantana camara), Albezia lebbeck and Senna alberta was evaluated against four animal pathogens Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella sp. and Staphylococcus using agar well diffusion method. The organic solvent methanol was used for extraction. The growth of all test pathogens was inhibited by methanol extracts from the plants. The maximum zone of inhibition (17mm) was obtained with methanol extract of Albezia lebbeck against Klebsiella. Amongst the eight plants used, the highest antibacterial activity was shown by Albezia lebbeck. Klebsiella was found to be the most sensitive while E. coli was found to be the least sensitive to different plant extracts. The occurrence of these biologically active chemicals in the selected plants may justify their wide usage in traditional medicine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
