Ethanolic extract of leaf, flower and root of Plumbago zeylenica L. (white variety) traditionally used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders were screened for antibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens Staphyllococcus aureus, Escerchia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter aurugens, Proteus vulgaris, Shigella sonnei, Salmonella typhi which are known to cause different type of gastrointestinal disorders. The results showed that leaf and root extracts exhibited strong antibacterial action at concentration of 2-8 mg/ mL of the bacterial pathogen tested. However, powdered flower extract showed moderate activity. Thus the present data reveals that leaves and flowers are equally potential for the treatment of bacterial pathogens, which causes intestinal catarrh, indigestion, and colic intestinal abscesses.

Myrsine Africana

The determination of the antibacterial activity (zone of inhibition) and minimum inhibitory concentration of medicinal plants a crucial step in drug development. In this study, the antibacterial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration of the ethanol extract of Myrsine africana were determined for Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The zones of inhibition (mm±S.E) of 500mg/ml of M. africana ethanol extract were 22.00± 0.00 for E. coli,20.33 ±0.33 for B. cereus,25.00± 0.00 for S. epidermidis and 18. 17±0.17 for S. pneumoniae. The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) is the minimum dose required to inhibit growth a microorganism. Upon further double dilution of the 500mg/ml of M. africana extract, MIC was obtained for each organism. The MIC for E. coli, B. cereus, S. epidermidis and S. pneumoniae were 7.81mg/ml, 7.81mg/ml, 15.63mg/ml and 15.63mg/ml respectively. Crude extracts are considered active when they inhibit microorganisms with zones of inhibition of 8mm and above. Therefore, this study has shown that the ethanol extract of M. africana can control the growth of the four organisms tested.

Chemical constituents of the essential oil from the leaves of Minthostachys mollis (Kunth) Griseb Vaught var. mollis collected in January 2008 at Tuñame, Trujillo State, Venezuela, were separated and identified by GCMS analysis. The essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and thirteen components (98.5% of the sample) were identified by comparison with the Wiley GCMS library data base. The two major components were pulegone (55.2%) and trans-menthone (31.5%). The essential oil showed a significant inhibitory effect against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, especially Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella typhi (4 μg/mL).

Abstract-Medicinal plants represent an essential source of drugs and have played an important role in healthcaresystem.PyracanthacrenulataandZanthoxylum armatumhave been used as traditional medicine. The main aim of the study was to find the antibacterial activity of the selected plants against bacterialspecies:E.coliandPseudomonasaeruginosa. The solvents used for plant extraction were hexane, chloroform, ethanol and aqueous. The in vitro antimicrobial activity was performed by Agar disk diffusion method. The hexane and aqueous extracts showed moderate activity whereas theethanolicextractsshowedasignificantantibacterial activity. In the study Tetracycline was used as standard. The combined ethanolic extract of both the selected plant showed the synergistic effect on the bacterial strain tested. This leads to the conclusion that the combined effect can have possible application in the development of products as antimicrobial.

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate whether ethanolic extracts of Nelumbo nucifera (EENN) seedpod and quercetin (active component of NN) possess antibacterial proprieties against Gram (-) bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Gram (+) bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: Antibacterial activities of EENN seedpod and quercetin were investigated using disc diffusion method, minimum inhibitory concentration against E. coli and P. aeruginosa and Gram (+) bacteria such as S. aureus. Results: The antibacterial activity of both EENN seedpod and quercetin was found to be increased in dose-dependent manner. The maximum zone of inhibition was exhibited by both EENN seedpod and quercetin against E. coli (14 mm and 15 mm) and P. aeruginosa (13 mm and 15 mm). Gram-negative bacteria were more susceptible to the EENN seedpod extract and quercetin than Gram-positive bacteria.Conclusion: The results of the present study suggested that the effect of EENN seedpod and quercetin against the tested bacteria in vitro may contribute to the in vivo activities of the EENN seedpod and quercetin.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate phytochemical screenings and the in vitro effect antibacterial of BD (Eleutherine Sp.) and TU (Ampelocissus Sp.) against Propionibacterium acnes.Methods: The antibacterial activity was investigated against Propionibacterium acnes by well diffusion method.Results: Preliminary phytochemical screenings of BD ethanolic extract were found positive alkaloid, saponin, tannins, and steroid while TUpositive flavonoid, saponin, tannins, steroid, and triterpenoid. Antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes of ethanolic extract BD with concentration 25 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml showed the zone of inhibition 3.23 mm and 7.8 mm with category weak activity while ethanolic extract TU with same concentration showed zone of inhibition 10 mm (weak activity) and 16.3 mm (moderate activity) which mean ethanolic extract TU have better antibacterial activity. A combination ethanolic extract of both with variant ratio showed a zone of inhibition 6.7 mm (1:1), 3.9 mm (1:2), and 3.63 mm (2:1).Conclusion: In this present study showed the highest potential antibacterial activity against propionibacterium acnes is an ethanolic extract of TU and The best ratio combination is 1:1. Furthermore, this study needs more research with variant concentration so that may be possible to be used as natural anti-acne formulations.
