Screening for antimicrobial activity of some medicinal plants.

Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6

Abstract

During present study the antibacterial activity of the petroleum ether extracts of Vitex negundo, Duranta repens, Piper nigrum and Acorus calamus were analysed. The antibacterial potential of these extracts were tested on Streptococcus mutans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The extracts have shown considerable inhibitory effect on test organisms Various combinations of the four plant extracts were studied for their synergistic activity and the results got are promising. The combined plant extracts have shown better antibacterial activity than compared to individual activity of plant extracts
