The
current study aims to investigate the antibacterial efficacy of different parts
of Mucuna pruriens, commonly referred to as “velvet bean”, against
various bacterial strains, such as E. coli, S. aureus, Bacillus,
and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study showed obtaining of extracts from
the roots, stems, leaves, and fruits, by usage of various solvents such as
distilled water, methanol, chloroform, and petroleum ether. This was followed
by determination of antibacterial efficacy of different extracts against as E.
coli, S. aureus, Bacillus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The results of the study revealed that the root extract of the plant exhibited
potent antibacterial activity, which was observed particularly against E.
coli and Bacillus, with the highest antibacterial efficacy being observed
when chloroform was used for extraction. Conversely, the fruit and stem
extracts demonstrated antibacterial efficacy against.
