Antibacterial Activity of Borassus Flabellifer
Journal Title: Archive of Biomedical Science and Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The present study was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial properties of different extracts of Borassus Flabellifer belonging to the family Arecaceae, which has been using to treat different illnesses. Methods: The root part was selected for the antibacterial activity and different extracts were prepared using soxhlet extraction procedure using different solvents successively and those were tested for their antibacterial property using agar well diffusion method at different concentration on standard human pathogenic bacterial strains. The zones of inhibitions for tested extracts were measured for each concentration on each bacterial strain tested in millimeter (mm) and showed zone of inhibitions were compared with the standard drug, ciprofloxacin.
