ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of terpenoidal and steroidal fraction of Heterophragma adenophyllum leaf extract against Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus anthracis and Klebsiella pneumonial. Study was carried out by using standard nutrient broth for microbes and streptomycine were taken as positive control. Terpenoidal and steroidal fraction of ethyl acetate extract used as test sample and DMSO as negative control. From the results of zone of inhibition it was concluded that the terpenoidal and steroidal fraction of extract were pusses antimicrobial activity while results of minimum inhibitory concentration, it was reveal that all bacterial strains were sensitive towards selected fraction.
Keywords: Antimicrobial, Heterophragma adenophyllum terpenoid, steroid.
