چکیده
In vitro antimicrobial efficacy of leaves extracts of Murraya koenigii was performed by disc diffusion method against six Gram positive bacterial (Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus subfava), nine Gram negative bacterial (Alcaligenes fecalis, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes and Salmonella typhimurium) and two fungal strains (Aspergillus brasiliensis, candida albicans). The most susceptible bacterial strains were Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus whereas not showing antifungal activity. The leaf extracts in organic solvents (methanol) showed better antimicrobial activity as compared to aqueous extracts Results of present study shows that leaves of Murraya koenigii having antimicrobial activity and can be used for natural antimicrobial agent.
