ABSTRACT:
Pathogenic bacteria and fungi were used as test strain to validate their anti-microbial potential. Phytochemical analysis of various (hexane, alcohol, chloroform, acetone, diethyl ether, dichloro- methane, water) extract of Mimosa pudica Linn.. In phytochemical analysis aqueous extract of Mimosa pudica Linn showed more number of phytoconstituents. Crude plant extracts exhibited inhibitory effect against maximum of pathogenic microbes. Ethanol is a proved better solvents compared with the other solvent. Results of the current study were interesting as inhibition zones were observed even, when extracts were used in lower concentrations. There should be detailed pharmacological screening of the crude extracts of this plant for exploration of effective and natural drug. Effective treatment of a disease entails the development of new pharmaceuticals or some potential source of novel drugs. Commonly used medicinal plants of our community could be an excellent source of drugs to fight off this problem. This study is focused on exploring the antimicrobial properties of the plants that are commonly being used as traditional medicines. The antimicrobial potential of four different plant extracts was screened against twelve pathogenic microorganisms and two reference bacterial strains. Ethanolic extracts of Mimosa Pudica Linn. were subjected to a test of their antimicrobial properties diffusion method. The result indicated these extracts exhibited antimicrobial properties.
