In vitro antibacterial activity of copper pod/yellow flame tree or peelagulmohar (peltophorumroxburghii)
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Drugs are the basic requirement to ensure the better quality of life thus various natural products from different sources has played an essential role. Plants including their different parts and exudates have been also used as natural antimicrobials as well as natural medicines to treat various medical problems, more than this, plants are the cheapest source of antimicrobials. With the passage of time microorganisms are getting resistance to various previously effective antibiotics. Pure, ethanol, and hexane extracts of Peltophorum roxburghii (copperpod) has shown significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus feacalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosaand Escherichia coli in agar well diffusion method as well as micro titer broth dilution method, which contributes to use plant extracts as initial material to design drugs effective to the organisms used in the study.
