Abstract
Alcoholic and chloroform extracts of shade dried leaves of Prosopis juliflora, Azadi rachta indica and Adhatoda vasica, as well as juices from fresh green leaves of P.Juliflora were screened for antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sp. Corynebacterium sp., Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus sp. and Klebsiella sp. The extracts from Azadirachta indica and Adhatoda vasica were almost devoid of antibacterial activity. Extracts from P. juliflora leaves possessed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sp., Corynebacterium sp. and proteus sp. However, alcoholic extract was additionally affective against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp. The alcoholic extract was more potent than chloroform extract against the susceptible bacteria. However, Pseudomonas aeruginosa were resistant to these extracts. Crude juice prepared from P. juliflora leaves was effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus sp.. Diplococcus pneumoniae, Corynebacterium sp., Escherichia coli, Pasteurella multocida and yeast whereas Klebsiella sp. and Proteus sp. were resistant.
