ABSTRACT
To investigate the Antibacterial activity of Acetone extract of Gloriosa superba tuber on different human pathogens collected from ATCC, (Gram positive and Gram negative) by using agar gel well method. Antibacterial activity of all extracts from Gloriosa superba tuber were checked against Gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus subtilis MTCC 441; Gram negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 were tested. Acetone extract of Gloriosa superba tuber showed more antagonistic effect towards the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Highest antagonistic effect showed on Escherichia coli and lowest effect on Bacillus subtilis.
Keywords: Gloriosa superba, Bacillus subtilis, aureus, subtilis.
