Abstract

In the present investigation, we studied on the in-vitro antibacterial activity of Curcuma longa extracts in hexane, chloroform, and methanol as well as phytochemical screening. Steroids, terpenoids, glycosides, tannins, alkaloids, phenols, and carbohydrates were all identified in the data. Against the investigated bacterial strains, the chosen plant extracts generated a concentration-dependent zone of inhibition. Compared to gram positive species, the extracts demonstrated more potency against gram negative organisms. When the extracts were at their greatest concentrations, 500 and 250 µg/ml, they demonstrated better activity. At 500 µg doses, the chloroform extract of Curcuma longa exhibited superior effectiveness against gram negative bacteria compared to the other two extracts
