Abstract
Detecting new sources of antibiotics based on natural products used by traditional practitioners was the main objective to analyse the extracts of root, stem, leaf, flower and fruit of Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae), a medicinal plant available in India. A group of organisms along with 2 bacteria and 2 fungi were served by L.camara extracts of different parts based on technique. The whole plant extract presented the most active. The L.camara extract were active against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10.25 ± 15.5µg/ml) and fungi Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger (5.25±13.5 and 0 ± 13.25µg/ml). This study may support the conventional use of whole plant extract of L.camara in various disorders, a potential subject to further isolation and identification as a supply of antibacterial substances.
