- Abstract
The present investigation focuses on the antimicrobial screening of leaf extract of Wrightia tinctoria against the selected bacterial and fungal strains. Leaf extract of Wrightia tinctoria was more potent in inhibiting the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli with different degree of inhibition. Wrightia tinctoria completely inhibited Trichophyton floccosum at 500- 1000ppm. The results support that the plant extract containing compound that can form the basis for the development of novel broad spectrum antimicrobial formulations against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Trichophyton floccosum.
