- Abstract
Legumes are one of the most nutritious foods in the world and when mutual with other products are the source of diet for a great part of the world's population, especially in shoddier areas where meat, dairy products and fish are economically inaccessible. Legumes belongs to the family Fabaceae or Leguminosae. Lablab purpureus is not only an attractive plant, but also has frequent claims on its medicinal values and nutrient content, especially its pods. The antibacterial activity of Lablab purpureus by using Petroleum ether, Acetone, Ethanol and Aqueous extracts were examined against gram-positive bacteria's Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative bacteria's Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli. The Antibacterial activity was examined by Disc diffusion method. In Lablab purpureus, Staphylococcus aureus showed supreme inhibitory concentration zone in acetone extract and the least zone of inhibition was observed in Bacillus subtilis of aqueous extract.
