Antibacterial activity of some Holy Plants
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Medicinal plants are being used from earliest without knowing about their active elements. Herbs are occupied the top source of novel drug with antimicrobial activity. With reference to these points, the ethanolic extract of three medicinal plants were subjected to in vitro antibacterial assay against human pathogenic bacteria Gram positive Bacillus subtilis and Gram negative Pseudomonas putida by employing disc diffusion method. Among the plants tested Calotropis gigantean was found to be the most effective against both bacterial strains followed by Curcuma longa and Oscimum sanctum found ineffective against both test organisms. Curcuma longa showed decreased zone of inhibition with increased concentration of sample, while Calotropis gigantean showed increased with concentration. Largest zone of inhibition (26 mm) was obtained with Pseudomonas putida and (27 mm) with Bacillus subtilis at 0.5mg/ml concentration when treated with Curcuma longa. In case of Calotropis gigantean, largest zone of inhibition (27 mm) was obtained with Pseudomonas putida and (29 mm) with Bacillus subtilis at 0.25 mg/ml concentration.
