Abstract
The antibacterial effect of the plant Kedrostis foetidissima (Jacg) Cogn. collected from
Gobichettipalayam and Namakkal was evaluated against four pathogenic poultry isolates namely
Escherichia coll, Salmonella pullorum, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. All
the test organisms were susceptible to undiluted fresh plant juice. The plant from Gobichettipalayam
exhibited better antibacterial activity compared to the Namakkal plant against all the isolates tested.
The results were compared with the standard antibacterials co-trimoxazole and ofloxacin.
