Title

“Anti-microbial activity of roots of Rauwolfia serpentina (Apocynaceae) collected from different geographical regions of India”

Abstract

Antimicrobials are the natural killers of micro-organisms that invade them. The main benefits of these agents are their ability to cause selective toxicity on the target without hampering the natural equilibrium. Rauwolfia serpentina (Sarpagandha) is a glabrous perennial undershrub. It is given in many disorders like worm infestation, insomnia, epilepsy, fever, obesity, mental ailments, influence of evil spirit etc. It is reported that the plant also has antimicrobial activity. This article deals with the effect of geographical variation on the anti-microbial property of plant. The roots are collected from different zones of India. The water as well as ethanol extracts were studied against the pathogen Escherichia coli in Mueller-Hinton agar culture media. The results calculated from the inhibition zone revealed that the aqueous extract of five samples of roots of Rauwolfia serpentina shows the highest zone inhibition against the Escherichia coli. The highest zone inhibition is in the sample collected from North region in both ethanolic and aqueous extracts.

Key Words
