Abstract :

Aegle Marmelos (L.) Corr. is a medicinal herb belongs to the family Rutaceae, used for antimicrobial screening against selected five pathogenic microorganisms – Escherichia coli MTCC40, Salmonella typhi MTCC3216, Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC2581, Proteus vulgaris MTCC428, Staphylococcus aureus MTCC3160. fruits of Aegle marmelos were extracted in ethanol and petroleum ether through cold and hot extraction method. Thus, four extracts were prepared. For control petroleum ether, ethanol, and Ampicilin (in petroleum ether and ethanol) were used. Zone of Inhibtion and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration were determined by Disk Diffusion Method and Broth Dilution Method respectively. Results of these two methods showed antimicrobial effect against four microorganisms – Escherichia coli MTCC40, Salmonella typhi MTCC3216, Proteus vulgaris MTCC428, Staphylococcus aureus MTCC3160.
