Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives Ethanolic extract and chloroformic extracts of Andrographis Paniculata leaves was investigated for antibacterial activities. Methods The well diffusion method was followed for antibacterial assay.Antibacterial activity of the leaves extract using well diffusion method according to Bauer et al.,.(1996). In this disc was prepared by using whatmann No.1 filter paper. Then, the filter paper disc of 5mm diameter were sterilized and soaked in the different concentration of plant extract. Results The antibacterial activity of Andrographis Paniculata was tested against 4 species of bacteria, viz, Staphyloccus, Streptococcus, Bacillus pseudomonas and E.Coli. Conclusion Aqueous ethanolic extract and chloroformic extracts of leaves was screened for their antibacterial potential. The zone of inhibition was seen to be largest when chloroform extract was used.
