IN-VITRO ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF JATROPHA CURCAS GROWN ON FLY ASH AMENDED SOIL

摘要

pThe present invention relates to an antibacterial composition obtained from the leaves of Jatropha curcus grown on fly ash enriched soil in inhibiting the growth of multi drug resistant bacteria. The ethanolic extracts of leaves of Jatropha curcus grown on different concentrations of fly ash in soil shows significant effect in inhibiting the growth of multi drug resistant bacteria. The extract shows the broad antimicrobial activity against MDR bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia using agar well diffbsion method. h/p
