ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF LEAFEXTRA CTSOF AGIALITISROT UNDIFOLIA

Abstract

agar well diffusion method was used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of
Aegialitisrotundifolia leaf extracts against Escherichia coli MTCC (727), Enterobacteraerogen MTCC
(111), Klebsiella pneumonia (9544), and Bacillus cereus (1272), as well as against Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (741), Proteus mirabilis (9493), and Staphylococcus aureus (96). Most effective antibacterial
activity was found to be in leaf extracts in methanol and ethyl acetate; It was determined that the MIC
(Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) was 100, 200, 300, and 400 mg/100 ml for the antibacterial activity
of the extracts that were shown to be effective. The MIC varied from 100 g/100 l to 400 g/100 l for
several test organisms. Leaf extracts from Aegialitisrotundifolia have been shown to have a wide range
of applications.
