Abstract
Objective: Aim of present study synergistic antibacterial effect of and Mormodica charantia, Ocimum sanctum Prosopis juliflora. Material and methods: Aqueous and methanol extracts of leaves of three important medicinal plant species, and has been tested individually and in Mormodica charantia, Ocimum sanctum Prosopis juliflora combination for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, using agar well diffusion method. Results and conclusion: Results showed higher antibacterial activity in combination of extracts of the medicinal plants studied. The methanolic leaf extracts of and aqueous leaf extracts of showed 2.1 and P. juliflora M. charantia 1.9 cm zone of inhibition (ZI), respectively against and while tested individually. Whereas, the S. aureus S. pyogens combination of methanolic leaf extracts of and M. charantia P. juliflora M. charantia O. Sanctum showed 2.3 cm ZI against respectively. Similarly, the highest antibacterial activity of 2.5 cm S. aureus and S. Pyogens ZI was observed against in combination of methanolic leaf extracts (2:1:1) of all the three plants. This S. Pyogens study clearly demonstrates the synergistic activity of plant extracts against different bacteria.
