Abstract
L. is a traditional medicinal herb that has been used to cure a variety of diseases in humans. The goal of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of methanolic, ethanolic, and acetonic extracts of T. seeds against a bacterial species. Agar well diffusion method was used to test antibacterial activity. In comparison to methanolic and acetonic extracts, ethanolic extract of T. ammi seeds showed a highest antibacterial activity against , and . Methanolic extract, on the other hand, effectively inhibited and . The maximum inhibition zone in ethanolic was observed against and (22.6 mm) and the minimum inhibition zone against (12 mm) at 100% concentration. Plant extracts contained alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and glycosides.
