Disc diffusion method

Present study was carried out to analyze antibacterial activity of different parts of Capparis decidua, for this root, stem, fruits and whole plant were collected and extracted with different solvents such as water, alcohol and petroleum ether, antibacterial activity of these extracts were determined by disc diffusion method against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, during this work maximum antibacterial activity against E. coli was reported in two extracts (i) Capparis whole plant with Micellar media-petroleum ether-alcohol extract (ii) Capparis root with water extract, and against Staphylococcus aureus maximum antibacterial activity was reported in Capparis stem extract with water-petroleum ether-alcohol extract, and Capparis root with micellar media extract have maximum antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis.
