ABSTRACT

Antimicrobial activity in leaf extract of neem (Azadirachta indica) against human pathogenic microorganism: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans. Antimicrobial activities of aqueous, methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of neem leaves were used. Varying concentration of each extracts 500 mg/ml, 250 mg/ml, 125 mg/ml, 62.5 mg/ml, 31.25 mg/ml, 15.625 mg/ml prepared in DMSO and tested using well diffusion method and also checked for MIC. When compared with ampicillin- 20mg/ml, the Ethyl Acetate extract shows highest zone of inhibition followed by methanol extract and aqueous extract on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans in an ascending order. Keywords: Azaridichta indica, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans, microbiota
