PRELIMINARY STUDIES ON COMBINATIONAL ANTIBACTERIAL EFFECTS OF ROOT EXTRACTS OF WITHANIA SOMNIFERA AND CARICA PAPAYA
Aishwarya Dey, Nibedita Dey and Shaleesha Stanley*
Abstract The ethanolic root extract of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Papaya (Carica Papaya) is said to have anti-microbial activity. This project was undertaken to analyze the anti-bacterial activity of these plant extracts against three Gram Negative and two Gram Positive isolates in Chennai. Combinational dosages of both were next studied on the most prevalent gram negative and gram positive strain. The present study suggests that 1:1 ratio of both the flavonoids have a synergistic effect by increasing the antibiotic activity of papaya. Keywords: Withania Somnifera, Carica Papaya, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus. [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
