Abstract
To screen the antibacterial potential of selected medicinal plants. The antibacterial activity of selected medicinal plants were investigated by disc diffusion method against eight species of bacteria viz., Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus vulgaris, Streptococcus pyogens and Bacillus subtilis. Methanol extract of Strychnos nux-vomica showed the higher antibacterial activity against all the tested organisms when compared to Lantana camara. The methanol extract of Strychnos nux-vomica was considered for the further spectrum analysis.
