Abstract
Salvadora persica is
commonly known as khara jaal or miswak tree. It belongs to family
salvadoraceae. It is a small tree or large shrub which is used as chewing
sticks against oral pathogens. This plant is therapeutically used as
anticonvulsant, antibacterial, antiplaque, analgesic, antifungal and
antimycotic. The present paper investigates the antibacterial activity of plant
against various Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria such as Staphylococcus
aureus, Bacillus subtilis, E. coli, Agrobacterium
tumefaciens, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas syringae and Enterobacter
aerogenes. The highest activity was present against Enterobacter
aerogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. The GCMS analysis
revealed the presence of 47 bioactive compounds such as
2-Amino-1,3-propanediol, 4H-Pyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl,
Benzoic acid and Heptadecanal etc. which were responsible for the antimicrobial,
antioxidant and antitumor activity of the plant
