ABSTRACT

The fruits of Cordia dichotoma, which are underutilized, have been used to identify its antibacterial activity. Among the different non-polar to polar extracts used diethyl ether extracts showed inhibition of more number of bacterial strains than other extracts used. Methanol fraction however showed highest zone of inhibition against Salmonella paratyphi using premature and mature fruit extracts and recorded minimum inhibitory concentration value of 0.5 mg/ml. Among all the extracts used gram positive bacterial strains were more susceptible than the gram negative bacterial strains. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bacillus cereus proved to be highly susceptible, while Escherichia coli proved to be most resistant among all the bacterial cultures used. Further studies are however needed to identify and ascertain the role of bioactive compounds responsible for the antibacterial activity.
