The extracts of Acacia arabica (Babul), Curcuma longa (Haldi), Emblica officinalis (Amla), Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi) and Vitex nigundo (Nirgundi) were evaluated in vitro against three bacterial strains i.e. Staphylococcus aureus (NCIM 2079), Bacillus subtilis (NCIM 2063), Escherichia coli (NCIM 2065) and one Fluconazole-resistant yeast strain i.e. Candida albicans (NCIM 3628) by agar disc diffusion method. The collected ethno medicinal plants were used in folk medicine in the treatment of skin diseases and various infectious disorders. All the 05 plants exhibited antimicrobial activity against one or more of the tested microorganisms at three different concentrations of 5, 10 and 20 mg disc-1 .

A total number of 1647 mosquitoes that belongs to three genera i. e. Anopheles, Aedes and Culex and nine species i. e. Anopheles annularis, Anopheles culicifacies, Anopheles fluviatilis, Anopheles subpictus, Aedes aagypti, Aedes albopictus, Culex quinquefasciatus, Culex triteaniorhynchus and Culex vishnui were collected from five villages in and around from Oct. 2011 – Sep. 2012.

A record of two vegetables belonging to family Solanaeceae, used by fourteen villages of Guna district, M. P., India are given. Characteristic features of vegetable varieties are also mentioned.

Staphylococcus aureus (80% against MET and 60% against GEN) and Escherichia coli (75% against MET and 50% against E), in case of Klebsiella pneumoniae (66.67% against MET, GEN and CIP) and Corynebacterium acnei (66.67% against MET) species were found to be more resistant against the studied antibiotics as compared to the extracts of Lantana camara. No resistance was observed of Lantana camara leaves derived antibiotics against all the test isolates. It is concluded from these figures that microbial resistance against these antibiotics are increa...

Staphylococcus aureus (NCIM 2079), Bacillus subtilis (NCIM 2063), Escherichia coli (NCIM 2065), Salmonella typhimurium (NCIM 2501), Streptococcus pneumoniae (NCIM 5281) and a yeast Candida albicans (NCIM 3471). Of these, 76 ethanolic and 64 aqueous extracts showed varied levels of antibacterial activity against test bacterial strains whereas anticandidal activity was detected in 07 ethanolic and 05 aqueous extracts. Overall, broad-spectrum antibacterial activity was observed in 08 plants (ethanolic extracts) and 06 plants (aqueous extracts) against all test bacteria and 07 plants (ethanolic extracts) and 05 plants (aqueous extracts) against Candida albicans.

The different extracts of the leaves of Vitex nigundo have been found to inhibit the growth of bacterial strains. Petroleum ether and alcoholic extracts revealed that the moderate bactericidal action but the aqueous extract showed that the bactericidal action only at higher concentration.

Different parts of the plant are used in folklore remedies and traditional systems of medicine for the treatment of various human ailments. Over the last twenty-five years a large number of plant species have been evaluated for their antibacterial activity. One of the plants known for having many medicinal uses in traditional system of medicine is (Juliana et al., 2002). The leaves are used in the treatment of itches, cuts, ulcers, swellings, bilious fever, eczema and rheumatism. has received attention due to its role in economy and ecology. It is serious weed in several countries that causes toxicity in grazing animals and is rapidly disturbing the ecological balance due to its luxuriant growth (Sharma et al., 1988). Many pharmacological investigations indicated that extracts of the leaves of exhib...
