Abstract

The antimicrobial potential of Catharauthus roseus hairy root has been studied using petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone, isopropanol and Benzene extract against Staphylococcus aureus by antibiotic sensitivity test vs standard antibiotic tetracycline. The zone of inhibition formed was proportional to the concentration of chloroform extract found to be more effective and showed highest growth inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus as compared to the standard tetracycline.
