Abstract

From the times unknown, plants have been proved as a valuable source of medicinal agent with authentic ability of treating infectious diseases and at the same time causing negligible side effects. In the present study antibacterial activity of different plant part (Root, stem, leaf and flowers) extracts of Nerium indicum were screened against some pathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial activity of both fresh and dried plant parts were determined in aqueous, alcohol, chloroform and petroleum ether extracts using agar disc diffusion method against E.coli, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter aerogenes and Agrobacterium tumefaciens. All the plant parts exhibited antibacterial activity and maximum antibacterial activity was shown by petroleum ether extract of dried flower against Klebsiella pneumoniae. Phytochemical analysis was also done.
