Abstract

The present study was aimed at evaluating the antimicrobial activity and phytochemical analysis of solvent as well as aqueous extracts of leaves of Centella asiatica . The methanol extract exhibited the strongest antimicrobial activity against Gram positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Gram negative bacteria Proteus vulgaris . In contrast, aqueous extract appeared to be the least active extracts as its inhibitory potency was been observed. Methanolic extract demonstrated low minimum inhibitory concentration values against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgaris . The results showed Centella asiatica leaf extracts possess promising antimicrobial properties.
