Abstract
With the growing era, there is tremendous need to produce high potential antimicrobial drugs and medicines from various herbaceous plants and natural resources has been increasing due to increasing multiple drug resistance in pathogens. An experiment was performed to know about antimicrobial activities of various plant extracts. These activities were tested by using agar diffusion method. The bacterial as well as fungal strains were collected and were cultured on agar plates. After that these plates were left in incubator for 24 hours at 37°C to develop zones clearly all round the plant extracts. The activities of bacteria and fungi were determined by using inhibition diameter zones. The clear inhibition zones were found against bacterial strains in study. Antimicrobial activity of acetone, n-hexane and water extracts viz. Acacia nilotica and Artemissia vulgaris tested against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtils and E. coli as well as Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum. Acetone extracts were found to be more effective as compared with n-hexane while water extracts show no activity.
Highlights
Since centuries, traditional medicinal plants have been used all over the international and they play a vital function in prevention and treatment of various illnesses
Antibacterial and Antifungal activities of nhexane, acetone and aqueous or water extracts from exclusive plants had been tested against bacterial strains consisting of E. coli and Bacillus samples
Antifungal activity of n-hexane and acetone extracts from various plants was tested towards two different fungal strains such as Aspergillus niger and Fusorium oxysporum samples
Summary
Traditional medicinal plants have been used all over the international and they play a vital function in prevention and treatment of various illnesses. Acacia nilotica (Mimosaceae) generally known as Babul. The plant is a tress with yellow mimosalike flowers and long grey pods constricted among seeds. Acacica nilotica has been proved as powerful medicinal drug in treatment of malaria, sore throat (aerial component) and toothache (bark) [7]. The powdered bark of the plant with little salt is used for treating acute diarrhea [8,9,10]. Standardization is hard due to the fact natural drug are normally combination of components and the energetic essential in most cases is unknown. The prevailing have a look at changed into designed to standardized bark of Acacia nilotica
