标题：Qualitative Phytochemical Analysis and in vitro Antibacterial Activity of Acmella Ciliata (H.B.K) Cassini and Ichnocarpus Frutescens (Linn.) R.Br. Against Two Pathogenic Bacteria
摘要：In the present work, qualitative phytochemical analysis and in vitro antibacterial activity of the differentcomponent extracts of Acmella ciliata and lchnocarpus furtescens against Escherichia coli and Bacillussubtilis were studied. Extracts were prepared in methanol and water. Antibacterial activity was comparedwith control and standard antibiotic ampicillin. Both the plant species exhibited antibacterial activity againstthe test pathogenic bacteria. However, methanolic leaf extracts of Acmella ciliata was found to have maximumnumber of bioactive components and highest zone of inhibition against both the test bacteria and thereforeas per the present study, methanolic leaf extract of A. ciliata is indeed the potential antibacterial agentagainst B. subtilis and E. coli.
