This increasing preval- ence of multidrug resistant strains of microorganisms and reduced susceptibility to antibiotics raises an urgent need to search for new sources of antimicrobial agents. Human infections, particularly those involving the skin and mucosal surfaces constitute a serious problem, especially in tropical and subtropical developing countries. (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli, and Salmonella sp. were observed to be the most frequent pathogens cause gastrointestinal infection. MRSA gained much attention in the past decade, as it is a major cause of hospital-acquired infections. In this study, different extracts of Helicteres isora, was screened for the antimicrobial activity against the multidrug resistant pathogens. Results are encouraging indicating the potential antibacterial activity against the test organisms and further validate the traditional use of H.isorain abdominal cramps and gastrointestinal infections.","PeriodicalId":432227,"journal":{"name":"Universities' Journal of Phytochemistry and Ayurvedic Heights","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129434447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of marigold (Tageteserecta) methanolic extract on five reference strains including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Then, their antimicrobial effects were investigated using agar well diffusion and tubular dilution methods.

The practical value of essential oils in daily life is explored through the study of numerous physicochemical characteristics (Parthiban et al., 2011). Physicochemical characteristics indirectly influence the quality of the essential oils. The commercial importance of oils mostly depends on these physicochemical characteristics, which provide baseline data to determine its suitability for consumption. Therefore, the present study was taken to evaluate characteristics of the essential oil extracted from the leaves and rhizomes of Acoruscalamus which is a wild aromatic plant species growing in the lower Himalayan region and the essential oil extracted from the plant is used frequently in skin care and aromatherapy to uplift mood and relieve stress. Essential oil was extracted from both rhizome and leaves (Ac R and Ac L) of Acoruscalamus and are analysed for characteristics like yield, specific gravity, viscosity, refractive index, acid number, saponification value, etc. Results indicated that that essential oil Ac R is more superior to Ac L in quality enhancing its commercial importance and can be taken up for further studies.","PeriodicalId":432227,"journal":{"name":"Universities' Journal of Phytochemistry and Ayurvedic Heights","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128514973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
