Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Antibacterial activity of various extracts of stem of Caralluma adscendens var. fimbriata, Roxb., Family Asclepediaceae was studied against Bacillus pumilus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella sonnei. Among the various extracts petroleum ether extract is effective antimicrobial against S. aureus and E.coli while n- n-butanol extract is effective against Shigella sonnei and B. pumilus at a concentration of 5 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml.
