EVALUATION OF ANTIBACTERIAL STUDIES IN HARSINGAAR
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Plants are rich source of antibacterial agents, which could be control human diseases. Present investigation was an undertaken to evaluate the antibacterial of Harsinger (Nyctanthes arbortristis Linn) against five important human pathogenic bacteria i.e. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomonas aueruginosa by filter paper disc diffusion method. Dried leaves of Nyctanthes arbortristis were collected, washed, shade dried and powdered. Aqueous and methanol extracts were prepared and evaluate their antibacterial activity. The significant result of antibacterial activity was observed in aqueous as well as methanol leaves extract. The strongest antibacterial activity of aqueous leaves extract was observed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa with (22.00 mm) zone of inhibition while the methanol leaves extract showed strongest antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with (28.00 mm) maximum zone of inhibition.
