BENTH.(FABACEAE) JF - Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Research and Development JA - Asian J Pharm Res Dev VL - 6 IS - 6 SE - Research Articles DO - 10.22270/ajprd.v6i6.458 UR - https://ajprd.com/index.php/journal/article/view/458 SP - 1-6 AB - <p>The emergence of multi-drug resistant strains and limitations of present antimicrobial drugs have led to continuous search for natural products as curative agents for Anti-methicillin resistantinfections. The aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial activity of an ethanolic extract from <em>Albizia lebbeck</em>stem bark against Anti-methicillin resistant. Methods and Results&nbsp;: The methods of dissemination swab on muller-hinton agar and double dilution were used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of 70 % ethanolic extract of stem bark of <em>Albizia lebbeck</em>.All multi-resistant strains of <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> and the reference strain (ATCC 25923) were sensitive to 70 % ethanolic extract of the stem bark of <em>Albizia lebbeck</em>. The MBCvary from 0,49 mg/mL to 2mg/mL. Also, the phytochemical screening of this extract revealed the presence of &nbsp;Polyphenols, Gallic tannins, Catechin tanninsand Flavonoids. These findings confirm that an 70 % ethanolic extract from <em>Albizia lebbeck </em>stem bark inhibited growth of Anti-methicillin resistant at low concentration and could be utilised as an alternative Anti-methicillin resistantagent.</p> ER -
