Extraction and antibacterial potential of traditional medicinal plant Cypreus compressus

摘要

Plants are naturally occurring sources of drugs and can be used to minimize the problem of curing diseases up to the greater extent;for that purpose,we select a medicinal plant named Cypreus compressus.The extract is taken in the ethanol solvent.The crude extract of this medicinal plant is taken in Erlenmeyer flask tapped with a cotton pad.The crude extract is diluted to different concentrations in order to check the antibacterial activity at different concentrations of crude.The main aim of our work is to determine the antibacterial sensitivity test of Cypreus compressus against two types of bacteria i.e.,E.coli and S.aureus.Among all the different concentrations,the most significant was 20 mg for both types of bacteria i.e.,E.coli and S.aureus showing the greater zone of inhibition among all other concentrations that may use as an antibacterial agent in the future.
