摘要：Plant extracts possess unique antimicrobial agents is the topic attaining great popularity among theresearchers to abolish current health issues. So a study was conducted to examine the antimicrobial activity of Aloespecies viz. Aloe barbadensis, Aloe rupestris, Aloe juvenna and Gasteria pulchra in different solvents like ethanol,methanol, petroleum ether and aqueous solution against human pathogens namely Escherichia coli, Klebsiellapneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhimurium, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicansby disc diffusion method. The result observed was ethanolic as well as methanolic extracts of Aloe species exhibitedmore inhibitory effect than petroleum ether and aqueous solution. Aloe barbadensis, Aloe rupestris, Aloe juvenna andGasteria pulchra were effective against tested pathogens. Aspergillus niger as well as Candida albicans were alsosusceptible to Aloe leaf extracts given inhibitory zones ranging from 6mm to 11mm. Results of these findings will be again for the therapeutic field.
