In-vitro Antimicrobial Activities of Solanum villosum (L.) Lam; Crude Extract Solvent Comparison

Abstract Medicinal plants are wealthy resource of antimicrobial agents. In various parts of this world plants are used medicinally and these are effective resource of effective medicines. The present study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial properties of Solanum villosum. Flower heads, seeds, berries and fresh leaves were collected for aforesaid activity.Agar disc diffusion and agar tube dilution methods were used for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities, respectively. Anti-bacterial activity for both the extracts (methanol and chloroform) was about 85% against almost maximum bacterial strains. Anti-fungal activity was observed above 50% for both the crude extracts. These positive results are the baseline for next step detailed screening of this plant.
