Abstract

Assesment of antimicrobial activity of Chloroform, Acetone, Petroleum ether and Aqueous extracts of Cassia absus L. was undertaken against three species of microorganisms; Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi. Cassia was found to be effective against all the three test organisms. The Chloroform extract showed promising results with maximum inhibitory activity followed by Petroleum ether and Acetone. The aqueous extracts were least effective with minimum inhibitory effect.
