Abstract
In recent years, renewed interest has been
shown in the use of medicinal plants and scientific studies are been designed
to explain some of the curative phenomena associated with traditional herbal
remedies. Most drugs utilized by people all over the world are of plant origin.
The use of herbal remedies has increased significantly in the last one decade.
This has led to the production of herbal products. The microbial of curing all
manners of microbial diseases were assessed. The herbal remedies were
discovered to eliminate the contamination done by the following microorganisms:
Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Staphylococcus sp. and
Pseudomonas sp. The distilled water, ethanol, and aqueous extract of three
medicinal plants were evaluated for activity against medically important
bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Staphylococcus sp.
and Pseudomonas sp. The in vitro antimicrobial
activity was performed by agar well diffusion method and disc diffusion method.
The plates are incubated at 37°C in incubator. The zones of inhibition were
observed after this and observe the susceptibility towards the herbal drugs.
The ethanolic extract of garlic inhibited the growth of both gram positive and
gram-negative test bacterial cultures. The maximum activity was noted against Staphylococcus,
Escherichia coli and minimum antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas.
A zone of 12mm was recorded Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus by ethanol.
