Abstract

The antimicrobial activity of MuctoiLi pruriens extracts were tested on enteric pathogens by disc diffusion method. lim ethanol extract showed good antimicrobial activity. The minimal inhibitory concentration of M. i_miriens extracts was determined by tube dilution technique against different microbes. These results indicate that Mucuna prurien.,4 possess potent antimicrobial activity.
