Abstract

The antimicrobial activity of various plants like Citrus limon (Lemon), Syzgium cumini (Jamun), Vitex negundo (Nagod) & Tinospora cordifolia (Galo) were studied and were tested on test organisms with the help of agar well diffusion method. Leaves of Vitex negundo & Tinospora cordifolia, juice of Citrus limon and fruit of Syzgium cumini has been taken for the study purpose. Almost all the plants showed zone of inhibition against the tested organisms like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli & Proteus vulgaris in high or less effectively but Vitex negundo (Nagod), Citrus limon (Lemon) & Syzgium cumini (Jamun) shows better results among all the plants extracts. Phytochemical screening as well as TLC were also studied of all the plant extracts. Hence, the leaf extracts of all above plants can also be used for further investigation for determination of therapeutic potential.
