Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Methanolic extract of Phyllanthus debilis, family Euphorbiaceae was evaluated for antimicrobial activity using Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29756, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 10536 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 26513. The effect produced by methanolic extract was comparable to that of Ampicillin. The result revealed that the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Phyllanthus debilis exhibited significant antibacterial activity against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
