ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIAL OF ASPHODELUS TUNIFOLIUS (CAV)
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 30
Abstract
With the upcoming increase in drug resistant bacteria, there is a need to develop new antimicrobial agents. The demand for more and more drugs from plant sources is continuously increasing. Asphodelus tenuifolius (CAV) is a known medicinal plant used for rubbing on the bite of bees and wasps for relief. The present study was carried out to investigate antimicrobial activity against some pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Asphodelus tenuifolius (cav.) exhibited antibacterial activity against Vibrio cholerae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella Typhi and Shigella flexneri. No antifungal activity was observed. Therefore, the role of Asphodelus tenuifolius as an antibacterial agent is quite evident and it should be evaluated further as a therapeutic agent for use in future
