Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Plectranthus amboinicus has been reported to be traditionally used for medicine to cure common illnesses such as cough, stomachache, headache and skin infection. The present study is focused mainly on the ability of aqueous and ethanol extracts of the leaves of a traditional Indian medicinal plant against the pathogenic bacteria showing resistance against Ampicillin and Fluoroquinolones, isolated from respiratory infections. Different concentrations (20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25 μg/ml) of aqueous and alcoholic extracts were tested by agar well diffusion method. It was observed that the both extract were significantly inhibited respiratory resistant pathogenic bacteria against Ampicillin (10µg). The present study is therefore successful in indicating that Plectranthus amboinicus is useful in treatment of respiratory disorders associated with bacteria
