Abstract

Plants have played a significant role in the screening of bioactive compounds for human medications. The aim of present study was to assess the antibacterial activity of Suaeda fruticosa leaves fractions against clinically important bacterial strains. The extract of S. fruticosa leaves was formed in different solvent of different polarity and their antimicrobial activity was tested against four pathogens i.e. Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella enterica through Disc diffusion assay and agar well diffusion method. Qualitative phytochemical analysis was performed for the presence of bactericidal active compounds. Results obtained clearly demonstrated the efficacy of methanolic extract, dimethyl sulfoxide filtrate, and flavonoid fraction against pathogenic bacterial strains. The phytochemicals extracted from leaves acted asbroad-spectrum active compounds against these pathogens. These extracts had highest potential against E. coli with lowest minimum inhibitory concentration of 60 µl/5ml. The leaves of S. fruticosa act as potent origin for numerous phytochemicals that can make headway for antimicrobial drugs.
