Dr. J. Jayachitra* and Dr. M. Chitra
ABSTRACT
Objectives: Ethanolic extrat of Coleus aromaticus leaves was
investigated for antibacterial activities. Methods: The well diffusion
method was followed for antibacterial assay.Antibacterial activity of
coleus aromaticus leaves extract (50μl,100μl, 150μl) using well
diffusion method. In this disc was prepared by using whatmann No.1
filter paper. Then, the filter paper disc of 5mm diameter were sterilized
and soaked in the different concentration of plant extract. Results: The
antibacterial activity of Coleus aromaticus was tested against 3 species
of bacteria, viz, Klebsiella, pseudomonas and Staphyloccus.
Conclusion: Aqueous ethanolic extract of coleus aromaticus leaves
was screened for their antibacterial potential. The zone of inhibition
was seen to be largest when ethanolic extract of coleus aromaticus was
used.
