Antimicrobial activity of Ethanolic extracts of leaves and stems of Peristrophe bivalvis Merrill

Abstract: The antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extracts of leaves and stems of Peristrophe bivalvis Merrill was tested by agar diffusion streak well method. The zone of Inhibition produced by the extracts was measured against doses 10 mg, 40 mg, 70 mg and 100 mg/ml and compared with standard Gentamicin 10 µgm/ml for bacteria and Clotrimazole 25 µgm/ml for fungi. Their minimum inhibitory concentrations were calculated. It was found that Peristrophe bivalvis Merrill is having broad spectrum of activity. Leaves showed m… Show more

“…While the work of PEREIRA et al (2011) MIC values slightly higher (1.0g L -1 ) was necessary in A. humile leaf extract for S. aureus inhibition. Our results are interesting because low MIC values exhibited by plant extracts represent a possible replacement of the usual antibiotics used to treat infections (TANAVADE et al, 2012).…”

“…Phaopongthai et al [9] reported that P. bivalvis ethanolic extracts had the anti-snake venom activity against Naja kaouthia and Trimeresurus albolabris venoms. Another study highlighted the effectiveness of P. bivalvis ethanolic extracts on inhibition of bacteria consisting of Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa [10,11]. Thuy et al showed the new application of P. bivalvis by evaluating the alkaloid components from purple and red varieties growing in Vietnam [12,13].…”
