The continuous evolution of bacterial resistance to available antibiotics has necessitated the search for novel and effective antimicrobial compounds over a wide range of microorganisms. Development of bacterial resistance and increasing popularity of traditional medicine has led researchers to investigate the novel antimicrobial compounds in plants. It is known that more than 4, 00,000 species of tropical flowering plants possesses medicinal properties. Considering the important role of Curcuma longa in inhibition of different cultures of bacteria, the present study was conducted to evaluate its antimicrobial spectrum against different life threatening pathogenic microorganisms and screening for various phytochemical constituents.

The continuous search for the source of new antibiotics is needed to face the problem of increasing resistant strains of bacteria. The disease causing bacteria have evolved the genetic ability to transmit and acquire resistance to drugs used as therapeutic agents. The discovery of antibiotics to combat these pathogens marked a resolution in the 20th century. One way to prevent antibiotic resistance is by exploring new bioactive compounds from traditional medicine which is not based on the existing synthetic antimicrobial agents. Phytochemicals from medicinal plants showing antimicrobial activities have the potential of filling this need, because their structures are different from those of the more studied microbial sources. The present study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity from ethanolic extract against different life threatening pathogenic microorganisms and screening for various phytochemical constituents of Tridax procumbens Linn. The antibacterial activity of the plant extract of Tridax procumbens L. was studied against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The ethanolic extract displayed broad spectrum activity against all the test organisms. The antibacterial activity of the extracts was compared to the drug Ampicillin and Penicillin. Phytochemical screening of the plant revealed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, glycosides and saponins. The results of this study support the traditional use of Tridax procumbens Linn. Whole plant as an antibacterial agent.

Solanum virginianum L. belongs to family Solanaceae is an important plant used in traditional medicine system. In current investigation the antimicrobial potential of Solanum virginianum L. was estimated against different pathogenic microorganisms and preliminary phytochemical study was performed. The results obtained during investigation indicated that the plant possesses considerable antimicrobial activity against a wide range of microorganisms giving a zone of inhibition ranging from 12-21mm in diameter. Ethanolic extract shows minimum Inhibition concentration ranges from 50-350µg/ml. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of various phytochemicals including Alkaloids, Tannins, and Saponins etc.

Treatment of infections continues to be problematic in modern time because of the severe side effects of some drugs and the growing resistance to antimicrobial agents. Over the past few decades the use of antibiotics is under threat as many commonly used antibiotics have become less effective against certain illnesses due to emergence of multi drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. The continuous search for the source of new antibiotics is needed to face the problem of increasing resistant strains of bacteria. It is known that more than 400,000 species of tropical flowering plants possesses medicinal properties through their phytochemical constituents. Considering the important role of Butea monosperma in inhibition of different cultures of bacteria, the present study was conducted to evaluate its antimicrobial spectrum against different life threatening pathogenic microorganisms and screening for various phytochemical constituents.

The discovery of antibiotics to combat these pathogens marked a resolution in the 20th century. Unfortunately, because of the inappropriate use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine, certain strains of bacteria and fungi developed the ability to produce substances which block the action of antibiotics or change their target or ability to penetrate cells. One way to prevent antibiotic resistance is by exploring new bioactive compounds from traditional medicine which is not based on the existing synthetic antimicrobial agents. Phytochemicals from medicinal plants showing antimicrobial activities have the potential of filling this need, because their structures are different from those of the more studied microbial sources. The present study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity from ethanolic extract against different life threatening pathogenic microorganisms and screening for various phytochemical constituents of Lawsonia inermis Linn. According to the results obtained from current investigation, ethanolic extract of Lawsonia inermis found to possess good antibacterial properties over a wide range of disease causing gram positive as well as gram negative bacteria. Phytochemical study reveals the presence of Saponins, Tannins, Steroids and Anthraquinones in the ethanolic extract.
