Phytochemical Investigation and Antibacterial Assay of Some Important Medicinal Plants

Abstract

A Survey On Human Bacterial Pathogens, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Staphylococcus Aureus, Salmonella Typhi, Proteus Vulgaris And Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Has Studied The Antibiotic Properties Of Two Medicinally Significant Plants, Lagerstroemia Indica And Annona Reticulata Leaf Extracts. The Disc Diffusion Technique Was Used To Conduct Antibacterial Trials Using Methanol And Aqueous Extracts Against Microorganisms. The Results Of The Current Investigation Showed The Presence Of A Broad Range Of Antibacterial Activity Against All The Bacterial Pathogens Tested. The Highest Inhibitory Zone Detected By Methanol Extract Versus Aqueous Extract Was As Follows For Each Bacterium. All Of Them Were Found: S. Typhi (12 Mm), S. Pneumoniae (13 Mm), S. Vulgaris (20 Mm), S. Pneumoniae (12 Mm) And S. Aureus (12mm). The Current Investigation Reveals That The Medicinal Herbs Chosen Have Antibacterial Activities For K. Pneumoniae, S. Aureus, S. Typhi, P. Vulgaris And P. Aeruginosa Infections. Phytochemical Screening Identified A Variety Of Substances Including Terpenoids, Tannins, Deoxy Sugar, Saponins, Phenolic Compounds And Flavonoids, Which May Contribute To The Antibacterial Action Of The Above-Mentioned Medicinal Plants.
