چکیده
The chloroform and alcohol extracts of e plats were screened against six bacteria viz staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia Coli, proteus mirablis, salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella a aerogenes. Benzene-ethyl acetate (4:1) eluate of chloroform extract sowed activity against E.Coli, S.typhimurium and P.aeruginosa. The nbutanol extract of alcohol extract was active against P. mirablis and S. typhimurium. A phenolic compound isolated fro the above fraction exhibited activity against P. mirablis only.
