Abstract:

The leaves of Odina wodier Roxb were collected from the forest in Karnataka district dried, powdered and extracted with Pet ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol. These crude extracts were tested for antimicrobial activity by the agar diffusion method. The extracts found to be active were subjected to, the extracts were prepared according to the MIC, and an antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out using the agar well diffusion method. All the extracts showed antimicrobial activity against the tested strains. But the polar extracts showed a greater antibacterial potential as compared to the non-polar extracts. The methanolic extract was the most active. The present study showed the effectiveness of the crude plant extract against the tested bacterial strains. It indicated the potential use of the extract as an antimicrobial agent for the control of infectious diseases.

Keywords:
