R. Rajendran, A. Manikandan*, K. Hemalatha, M. Mary Sweety and P. Prabhavathi
ABSTRACT The in vitro antimicrobial activity of Impatiens balsamina leaf and root extracts were studied against selected microbial pathogens. The Leaves and root extracts were prepared using polar to non polar solvents. Among these solvents, ethanol was found to be more effective against all the test microorganisms. Ethanol extracts showed MIC of 1.0-4.0 mg/ml for bacterial and 2.0-4.0 mg/ml, for fungal isolates. The chloroform extract also showed a moderate antimicrobial activity against the bacterial and fungal pathogens. The result of this study indicates that the leaf and root extract have more potential of antimicrobial activity.
