| dc.description.abstract | The methanolic leaf extract of Desmodium heterocarpon (L) DC was tested for antimicrobial activity against the bacterial strains of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, Bacillus subtillis, Staphylococcus aureus and the fungal strains of Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chrysogenum. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans. The results have shown that methanol extract showed very good strong antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhi and excellent antifungal activity against all the test fungal strains as it showed more inhibition zone than the standard drug ketoconazole. | en_US |
