Abstract

The Objective of our study is to investigate the in vitro anti bacterial activity of ethanolic, aqueous and acetone leaf and bark extract of Acacia catechu willd against Enterococcus faecalis. The inhibitory effect of Acacia catechu willd was tested against E.faecalis at different concentrations by using the Broth dilution method. The ethanolic, aqueous, acetone leaf and bark extract of Acacia catechu exhibited antibacterial activity against E.faecalis tested at various concentrations. Leaf and bark extract of Acacia catechu willd was found to be bactericidal in action against tested bacterial strain.
