Dr. Arijit Chatterjee
Abstract :
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the essential oils extracted form the leaves of Ocimum tenuiflorum (Tulasi) against some microbial pathogens namely Salmonella enterica serovar typhi , Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Higher antibacterial activity was shown against gram–positive bacteria compared to Gramnegative bacteria. According to the results of this study it was found that highest antimicrobial activity was noticed against Staphylococcus aureus. In conclusion, Ocimum extracts found to be containing chemical compounds may be useful in controlling many microbial pathogen, especially the enteric pathogen like Salmonella enterica serovar typhi and drugs can be developed using these essential oils.
