Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Antimicrobial efficacy of the aqueous extract of leaves of Terminalia cattappa was investigated against Staphylococcus. aureus (gram positive), E.coli , (gram negative), Klebsiella pneumonia (gram negative) and Candida albicans using the Disc diffusion assay. Antimicrobial potency of the plant aqueous extract against the pathogenic microorganism followed the sequence: Klebsiella pneumonia > Staphylococcus aureus > Escheria. coli > Candida. albicans. Antimicrobial potency was also found to be less than standard antibiotics, Ampicillin, Nystatin, Penicillin under standard conditions.
