“…In vitro antimicrobial activity of leaf, stem, and bark of P. santalinus was determined by agar well diffusion assay [35,36]. Mueller-Hinton agar (MHA) and sabouraud dextrose agar (40-42°C) were seeded with 200 µl of inoculums (1 × 10 8 cfu/ml) and poured into Petri dishes.…”

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate antibacterial and synergistic antimicrobial properties of leaf, stem, and bark of Pterocarpus santalinus. Methods:The extraction was done by decoction method. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by agar well diffusion assay, and the synergistic antimicrobial activity was evaluated by agar disc diffusion assay. Results:The synergistic activity was studied with plant extracts plus antibiotics, namely, ampicillin, polymyxin-B, clotrimazole, and fluconazole. Conclusions:Among the three parts, the best antimicrobial activity was shown by bark extract. All the three parts showed synergistic antimicrobial activity with antibiotics, but their levels varied. The results suggest that all the three parts enhance the antimicrobial efficacy of the antibiotics against some microorganisms and hence can be developed as a new therapeutic weapon against infectious diseases.

Objective: Infections caused by microorganisms that have become resistant to commonly used antibiotics have become a major nuisance globally. The problem of microbial resistance is increasing rapidly, and therefore there is an urgent need to develop novel antimicrobial agents from a natural source. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of different solvent extracts of aerial part of Alysicarpus procumbens, Fimbristylis dichotoma, Saccharum spontaneum, Suaeda nigra, and Typha angustifolia against pathogenic microorganisms. Methods:The extraction was done by individual cold percolation method using five solvents of different polarity, viz., petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol, and water (aqueous). The antimicrobial activity was done by agar well diffusion method against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi.Results: All the plant solvent extracts showed varied level of antimicrobial activity against different microorganisms. All extracts of five plants showed better antibacterial activity than antifungal activity; Gram-positive bacteria were more susceptible than Gram-negative bacteria. Conclusion:The polarity of solvent greatly influences extractive yield and antimicrobial activity of medicinal plants. The best activity was shown by solvent extracts of S. nigra. Hence, it can be considered as good source of antimicrobial agents.

“…Messua ferrea is traditionally used to treat wound in Java, Indonesia (Suparman et al, 2012). It has been reported producing metabolites with antimicrobial activities (Chanda et al, 2013;Dennis, 1988;Roy et al, 2013;Verotta et al, 2004). The preeliminary study has been succeed isolating six endophytic fungi from M. ferrea grown in Banyumas, Indonesia (Hartanti, 2015).…”

We have successfully isolated and identified endophytic fungi from medicinal plant Mesua ferrea L. grown at Banyumas for the first time. One of those fungi was MFD-01. In this study, we report the isolation, identification, antibacterial activity, and phytochemical screening of Aspergillus sp. MFD-01. The endophytic fungus was isolated from the leaves of M. ferrea by subsequent inoculation on potato dextrose agar (PDA). The identification was based on its morphology and ITS-DNA sequence. The antibacterial activity was determined by dilution method. The identification of compounds in ethyl acetate extract of it was conducted according to the standart phytochemical screening method. MFD-01 was identified as Aspergillus sp. MFD-01. The ethyl acetate extract of Aspergillus sp. MFD-01 inhibited the growth of both Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. At concentration of 1000 ppm, its diameter of inhibitory zone against those bacteria was 10.53 and 11.84 mm, respectively. The extract contained flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, terpenoids, and tannins, which might be responsible for its antibacterial activity against both tested bacteria.
