ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF BARK EXTRACTS OF FICUS GLOMERATA ROXB AGAINST SOME GRAM POSITIVE AND GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA
Keyword(s):
Petroleum ether, ethanol and aqueous extracts of the bark of Ficus glomerata (Urticaceae) were screened for their antibacterial activity using agar diffusion method. They were tested against six bacteria; three Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus aureus and Staphylococcus aureus) and three Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The susceptibility of the microorganisms to the extracts of these plants was compared with each other and with selected antibiotics.
