Antibiotics are sometimes associated with side effects, whereas there are some advantages of using antimicrobial compounds of medicinal plants, such as fewer side effects, better patient tolerance, relatively less expensive, acceptance due to a long history of use and being renewable in nature. Only a small fraction of the known plant species have been evaluated for the presence of antimicrobial compounds, and thus, it is necessary to increase the efforts in collecting and screening plants for the development of novel and environmentally safe antimicrobial agents. This study is focused on determining the antimicrobial potency of the roots/barks of selected trees against sore bacteria. The roots and bark of the plant materials were ground and sieved to get a fine powder from which the extract was prepared. Methanolic extract of the plant was obtained by taking 300g of the powdered roots and bark in a separate container. Phytochemical analysis of plant roots and bark extracts showed the presence of almost all the phytochemical compounds, which were proven antimicrobial against most of the test organisms....Preview Download Preview +Other Microbiology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Isolation and identification of microbes associated with spoilage bread»Bacterial analysis of urine polluted environment in federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri»Microbiological quality of palm kernel fruits»Microbiological evaluation of home made grape juice»Therapeutic potential of Moringa Oleifera leaves»Antibacterial activity of honey on staphylococcus aureusescherichia coli and streptococcus pyogen isolated from wound»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial assessment of Spondias Mombin (Ijikara)»Bacteriological monitoring of abattoirs in Ehime Mbano in Imo state»Proximate, selected vitamins, and minerals analysis of Moringa Oleifera»Biodeterioration of natural and artifical stone»The effect of crude avocado and pawpaw leaves extract on kidney function of guinea pigs»Isolation and characterization of fungi associated with the spoilage of corn grown in farms in Rukpokwu community»Microbial examination of raw meat obtained at main abattoir, Offa»Isolation and identification of bacterial aerosols bioaerosols dump sites in Yenagoa»Incidence of staphylococcus and salmonella species in Kunuaya retailed in Yenagoa
