ABSTRACT

Current strategies to overcome the global problem of antimicrobial resistance include research in finding new and innovative antimicrobials from plants. This study was carried out to determine the antibacterial activity of Niranthin. The antibacterial tests used were the agar well diffusion assays at concentration 1gm/ml. Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) was determined in Niranthin that showed some efficacy against the tested microorganisms. Gentamicin (10µg) was used as a positive control. Niranthin showed better antibacterial activity against the study organisms compared to Gentamicin. Niranthin exhibited a significant bactericidal activity against S. aureus as compared to its efficacy against P. aeruginosa and E. coli. This in-vitro study corroborated the antimicrobial activity of Niranthin indicating that it could be potential source of new antimicrobial agent. Key words: Niranthin, antibacterial activity, MIC
