Abstract
Aim: The Objective of our study is to investigate the in vitro antibacterial activity of acetone bark and seed extract of Acacia catechu willd and Aesculus hippocastanum(Horse chest nut) against Enterococcus faecalis. Materials and Methods: The inhibitory effect of acetone bark extract of Acacia catechu willd and Aesculus hippocastanum seed extract were tested against E.faecalis by using the Broth dilution method. Results: The acetone bark extract of Acacia catechu exhibited antibacterial activity against E.faecalis with minimum bactericidal concentration of 10mg/ml whereas, Aesculus hippocastum acetone seed extract does not show any antibacterial activity at concentration ranging from 62μg/ml to 10mg/ml. Conclusion: The acetone bark extract of Acacia catechu willd was found to be bactericidal in action against tested bacterial strain.
