Abstract

Antimicrobial activity of leaf extract of   Rauwolfia tetraphylla L., was studied using different solvent like chloroform, acetone, ethanol and water against bacterial strains like   Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonus aeruginosa and fungal strains Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger and Penicillum chrysogenum. The antimicrobial activity was determined by disc diffusion method. Out of the four-extract used, acetone and ethanol extracts were found to be highly active against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.  The MIC values were obtained by serial dilution method.
