Abstract:

ABSTRACT: Chloroform and methanol extracts of Berberis tinctoria Lesch (Berberidaceae) root and root bark were investigated for antibacterial potential against Bacillus subtilis NCIM-2349, Bacillus coagulans NCIM-2323 Staphylococcus aureus NCIM-2492, Escherichia coli NCIM-2345 and antifungal potential against Candida albicans 6,8,11 and 27 (different strains of Candida albicans), Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus xylinuma and Aspergillus fumigatus. Both the extracts showed significant antibacterial and antifungal activity against all the microorganisms tested and the effect so produced was comparable to those of the standards, ampicillin and clotrimazole. However, the antifungal activity of the chloroform extract of the root was found to be negligible against Aspergillus species tested.
