ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF EUPHORBIA HIRTA L.
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The antibacterial and antifungal effect of Euphorbia hirta was evaluated against a panel of bacteria (Escherichia coli, Psueudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus) and fungi (Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium semitectum and Trichophyton sp.). E. hirta methnol extract was more sensitive against both bacteria and fungi tested. F. semitectum (27.12mm) showed higher sensitivity followed by E. coli (22mm), F. semitectum (21.80mm). P. aeriginosa, Trichophyton sp. (acetone extract) and S. aureus (fresh latex) are resistant. The plant can be used to discover new bioactive natural compounds that may serve as leads in the development of new pharmaceuticals with less side effects and resistance risks.
