Evaluation Of Antibacterial Activities Of Borreria Verticillata And Azadrichta Indica Leaf Extract On Four Bacterial Pathogens
ABSTRACT
The methanol
and water extracts of Borreria verticillata and Azadrichta indica were
investigated for their antibacterial activity against clinical isolates of four
bacterial species Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa
and Salmonella enterica Typhi and four Type culture bacterial
species(Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Enterococcus feacalis ATCC 7080). The
antibacterial activity was evaluated using the agar disc diffusion and broth
dilution methods to determine tire zone of inhibition and minimum inhibitory
concentration respectively. At a concentration of 2000pg/disc, A. indica
exhibited moderate to high antibacterial activity against all test organisms
except P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 with diameter of zone of inhibition ranging
from 6mm-16mm. The water extract of the plant was less active against the test
organisms. The methanol extracts of B. verticillata showed moderate to high
antibacterial activity against the testorganisms except P.. aeruginosa ATCC
27853. The results of this investigation support the use of these medicinal
plants in traditional medical practice. This study provides basis for future
more indepth study of the antimicrobial properties of these plants.
