Abstract

Phoenix loureirii is commonly known as ‘chittetha’ and the plant leaves are used for household purpose. Preliminary chemical studies of the plant reveal the presence of glycosides, tannins & flavonoids. In the present study we have evaluated the antimicrobial activity of Phoenix loureirii leaf extract on Salmonella typhi, Proteous vulgaris, E.colli, Staphyllococus, Bacillus & Streptococcus. Both the aqueous and ethanolic extracts showed good activity against all the microorganisms used. The extracts at dose 500mg/ml showed potent activity against Salmonella typhi, E.colli and Staphyllococus. Ethanolic extract was found to be more potent when compared with aqueous extracts.
