Rhizome, fruits and seeds of plants constitute a major role in traditional medicine by encompassing therapeutically valuable phytochemicals. Here, the medicinal importance and bioefficacy status of rhizome and fruit pulp extracts of Jatropha maheshwarii Subr. & Nayar against selected human pathogenic microbes were examined. Ethyl alcohol, benzene, chloroform, hexane, acetone and distilled water extracts of the rhizome and fruit pulp samples were screened against selected bacterial strains viz. Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherischia coli and Enterobacter aerogenes as well as fungal strains viz. Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans using agar well diffusion method. |
