Abstract :-The antibacterial properties of “Lawsonia inermis” commonly known as “Henna or Mehandi” tested against bacterial pathogens (S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and E. coli). Agar diffusion susceptibility test revealed inhibition zone of Henna sample. The Henna leaves were exhibiting best result followed by fruits, bark root and stems. The solvents were used ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate and hot water, compare to all, ethanolic extract and ethyl acetate extract were showing best result against one gram positive culture Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 2940) and two gram negative cultures Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MTCC 2453) and E. coli (MTCC 739). The MIC value was determined by using broth dilution methods. Ethanolic extract of Henna was subjected to get the MIC against test organisms and it was found to be 1.45 mg/ml for E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Keywords:- Antibacterial properties, ethanolic and ethyl acetate plant extract, MIC, zone of inhibition. |
