Abstract :

Now a day there is demand for search of the effective beneficial natural antimicrobials from the plant sources with better potency and lesser adverse effects. Using plants as medicines provides significant advantages for treating many conditions. The plants have remarkable nature of metabolism and they also synthesize varieties of complex metabolites which have proven therapeutic significance since ancient time. In present study the antibacterial potential of crude leaves extracts of plant Cassia siamea was evaluated against Gram positive and Gram negative clinical isolates. In this study the acetone extract found remarkable antibacterial potential against test isolates. It exhibited higher zones of inhibition 22 and 20 mm against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus respectively. The Gram positive test organisms were found more susceptible as compared to Gram negative to acetone and ethanol extracts.
