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. Keywords: . [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
