| Abstract:
|
The antimicrobial activity of Mimosa pudica , Centella asiatica , Dodonaea viscosa has been recognized for many years.
In the present study these three plant extracts were investigated for inhibitory activity against antibiotic resistant
organisms which include Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli which were found by an antibiogram assay . The
active phyto-components of these three plants were found using phytochemical analysis. An experiment was carried out
to study the antimicrobial activity of petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and ethanol extract of these three plant extracts by
well diffusion method. The zone of inhibition produced by petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts in doses
of 200,400,600,800 and 1000 µg/ml against the above selected strains was measured and compared with the standard
antibiotic Tetracycline (10mg/ml) and the results have been illustrated
