ABSTRACT
The antimicrobial activity of
aqueous and ethanolic extract preparations of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius was evaluated
against some food borne organisms. Disc diffusion method was used to determine
the diameter zone of inhibition and the Minimum inhibitory activity of the
extracts was also evaluated. Three organisms namely Staphylococcus aureus,
Escherichia coli and Aspergillus niger were used for the study. The antibiotics
used as control are Chloramphenicol and Ketoconazole. The diameter zone of
inhibition produced by the aqueous and ethanol extract of C. aconitifolius on
all the tested organisms ranged from 5-10mm. The antimicrobial activity
exhibited by the ethanol and water extracts of C. aconitifolius justifies the
therapeutic use of the plant material against some organisms
