Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anti bacterial activity of Equisetum arvense linn on selected Urinary tract pathogens. Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is one of the oldest known herb famous for its vast variety of therapeutic properties. Antibacterial activity of ethanolic and aqueous extract of Equisetum arvense L was screened against E.coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Enterococcus faecalis using disc diffusion technique. The results of this study showed that both the extracts at different concentrations exhibited anti bacterial activity against the bacterial species tested. The ethanolic extract showed higher degree of activity than aqueous extract when compared with the standards.
