Abstract :
Butea monosperma leaf extract was evaluated in vitro for its antibacterial activity against various bacterial species i.e. Bacillus subtilis, staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using Agar well diffusion technique. Different concentrations of leaf (500- 2000µg), extracted with petroleum ether was evaluated. All the concentrations of leaf extract shoed antibacterial activity. The antibacterial potential of extract increased with the increase in concentration of test solution. Higher activity was reported at 2000µg of leaf extract in all four bacterial genera tested. Among all, high inhibition zone were observed against P.aeruginosa (1.9 cm) followed by S.aureus (1.8 cm), B.subtilis (1.7 cm) and E.coli (1.6 cm).

Key-Words / Index Term :
