The study of medicinal plants as antimicrobial agents should be focused in part on ascertaining specific information about the plant’s antimicrobial activity In the present investigation Phytochemical, antimicrobial activity were screened using a plant namely Opilia amentaceaea extract against diarrhoeal pathogens. In the phytochemical analysis sequential extractions was carried out different solvent extracts. Various phytochemical compounds was screened such as Tannins, Saponins, Flavonoids, Catachins and Sugar were screened in medicinal plants. Anthroquinones present only in Anogeissus latifolia. All crude extracts of those medicinal plants were tested against standard reference strains including Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella enterica typhimurium, Shigella dysentriae , Klebseilla pneumonia. The results suggest that opilia amentaceae is scientifically validate the use of this plant in the traditional medicine for isolation and characterization of active role in future exploitation in medical microbiology. The purpose this study was to investicate the use of the selected plant extract was opilia amentacea in the treatment of diarrhoea which may lead to the discovery of attractive form of treatment.
