Anti Bactericidal Effect of the Extract of Jimson Weeds (Datura Stramonium)
Journal Title: International Journal of Bio-Technology and Research (IJBTR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
The origin of D. stramonium is not well known. But some groups said, it is distributed throughout the world. The others, it could be Asiatic. The aim of the present study was to analyze the bactericidal effect of Jimson weed leaf extract, D. stramonichtin. To extract this chemical, 200gram of dried leaf was extracted using methanol and chloroform solvents. To see and evaluate antibacterialcidal powers of jimson weed, the agar well diffusion assay was used against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Penicillin and Dimethyl sulfoxides were used for positive and negative controls, respectively. Methanol extract showed the highest and chloroform extract showed moderate to good antibacterial activity. E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus and proteus vulgaris were the most susceptible bacteria. On the other hand, Bacillus subtilis, Shigella dyssentria, and Salmonella typhie were the resistant bacteria groups to the chloroform extracts of Jimson weed leaf, Bacillus subtilis, Shgella dussentria and Salmonella typhie were the most resistant bacteria methanol extracts of Jimson weed leaf extract.
