Abstract


The study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity by crude aqueous extract of ethnobotanical drugs prepared and prescribed by ethnic healers of Rayalaseema region. Ethnic drugs prepared from whole plant parts of Litsea deccanensis (LD), Atalantia racemosa (AR), Hiptage benghalensis (HB) and Lagerstroemia parviflora (LP) at dosages of 25,50,75 mg/mL were tested against pathogenic bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia) using agar well diffusion technique. Results reported significant antibacterial effect at 50 & 75 mg/mL for all the drugs tested and recommend these crude drugs as antibacterial agents.

Keywords


Ethnobotanical drugs; Rayalaseema; Antibacterial activity.
