Abstract:

Even though pharmacological industries have produced a number of new antibiotics in the last three decades, resistance to these drugs by bacteria has increased. Hence the present study was carried out with an objective to investigate the antibacterial potential of leaf and flower extracts of Parthenium hysterophorus L. The aim of the study is to assess the antibacterial activity and to determine the zone of inhibition of methanol and acetone leaf and flower extracts on some bacterial strains.
