In-vitro Anti-bacterial Activity of Methanol and Aqueous Crude Extracts of Horsfieldia iryaghedhi
Aims: Over the past two decades, the rise of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria has posed a significant threat to global health. The urgent need for new treatment alternatives has brought attention to the potential of plants, which harbor a wealth of unexplored phytochemicals with therapeutic properties. This study aims to evaluate the anti-bacterial efficacy of methanol and aqueous extracts from the leaves and bark of Horsfieldia iryaghedhi In vitro. Methodology: Aqueous and methanol extra…

Evaluation of in vitro antibacterial activity and phytochemical profile of aqueous leaf extract of Asystasia variabilis
This study evaluated the in vitro antibacterial effect and the phytochemical profile of aqueous extract of fresh mature leaves of Asystasia variabilis, a Sri Lankan indigenous plant, against four common wound infective bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test. Gentamicin 10 μg/ disk and distilled water was used as positive and negative controls respectively The study revealed, for the first time, that…
