In vitro antimicrobial evaluation of Anthocephalus cadamba, Butea monosperma, Diospyrous melanoxylon and Ficus glomerata bark extract against certain bacteria
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Anthocephalus cadamba, Butea monosperma, Diospyrous melanoxylon and Ficus glomerata bark are used for the preparation of ethnic skin ointments. This ointment in turn is deployed over wounds for healing purposes and to check abscess formation. To access their anti microbial efficacy these plants were evaluated in vitro against five test bacteria viz. Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae Proteus vulgaris and Salmonella typhi. Zone of inhibition, minimum inhibitory concentration and MBC/MIC ratio for methanolic and aqueous extract was studied as chief antibacterial parameters. Butea monosperma was found to be nullified inhibitory for all the test bacteria while Anthocephalus cadamba and Ficus glomerata inhibited partially and results when compared to reference antibiotic were not statistically significant. Diospyrous melanoxylon showed significantly inhibition for Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella typhi. None of the experimented plant was inhibitory to Proteus vulgaris.
