In Vitro Study of Antibacterial Activity of Chenopodium Album against Certain Bacterial Pathogens

Abstract

The multidrug resistance of pathogenic bacteria is very big challenge in drug discovery at present time in allover world. This research work was designed to examine the in vitro antimicrobial activities of leaves aqueous, ethanolic amd chloroform extracts of Chenopodium album L. Chenopodium album leaves were collected from Mahendergarh district, Haryana and Jhunjhunu district, Rajasthan. The effects of aqueous, ethanolic amd chloroform extracts were tested against 6 bacterial strains by using disc,well-diffusion method. Results showed that leaves aqueous, ethanolic amd chloroform extracts of C.album has activity against the selected bacterial strains.
