Abstract :

<p>Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease mainly affecting skin and peripheral nerves in patients. The present study investigated activity of ethanolic extracts of roots of Mimosa pudica and bark of Prosopis cineraria against Mycobacterium leprae using agar–well diffusion method. Zone of inhibition was determined by taking Dapsone as the positive control and ethanol as the negative control. M. pudica and P. cineraria were individually found effective against M. leprae.
