Ethanol extracts of Solanum surattense used in traditional medicine for treatmentof various infections. The antibacterial activity detected was againstStaphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sp.; Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae and Vibriocholerae. The highest antibacterial activity was observed in 500μg concentrationof leaf extracts of all bacteria screened except Shigella dysenteriae. The minimumzone of inhibition observed in 25μg concentration of leaf extract exceptPseudomonas aeruginosa and Shigella dysenteriae. These results indicate that theextracts were bacteriostatic at higher concentrations.Keywords: Antibacterial activity; Solanum surattense; pathogenicmicro organisms.DOI: 10.3126/kuset.v6i1.3278Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and Technology Vol.6(1) 2010, pp 1-4
