Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Reserach - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Centratherum anthelminticum Asteraceae (Compositae) is a (Wild) Kuntze has been obtained from the north of India Uttarakhand state. The antibacterial and antifungal effects of chloroform of plant seeds were tested against the different bacteria and fungus eg. Stalophylococous aureous ATCC-29737, Escherischia coli ATCC-14169, Pseudomonas aerugenosa ATCC-9027, Bacillus Subtilis ATCC-6633 Fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Phomopsis dalbergiae, Trichoderma piluliferum. By disc diffusion method or microdilution technique in-vitro. The growth of E-coli, Pseudomonas aerugenosa the gram-negative bacteria and Fungus, have been inhibited by the chloroform extracts of the seeds of the Centratherum anthelminticum the extracts did not prevent the growth of the other test organism. This improves the existence of the antimicrobial and antifungal activity of the plant. The results showed that the seeds extract of Centratherum anthelminticum had the strong antibacterial activity of 0.0020 µg/ml against the E.coli, 0.006 µg/ml against the Pseudomonas aerugenosa, 0.0025 µg/ml against fungus used.
