The Allahabad Farmer Vol. LXVIII, January - 2013 No. 2Klebsiella pneumoniae was found to be resistant to most <strong>of</strong> the antibiotics. Theseobservations were comparable with those reported by other workers (Sharma et al.,1977; S<strong>in</strong>gh and Shukla, 1984; Ahsan et al., 1996; Arora and Kaur, 1999) forEscherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Streptococcus pyogenes showed moresusceptibility towards the antibiotics.The antibacterial activity <strong>of</strong> extract <strong>of</strong> Murraya koe<strong>in</strong>igii was seen aga<strong>in</strong>st all <strong>of</strong>the tested organisms except Salmonella typhi.The extract did not show any antibacterialeffect towards Salmonella typhi.The extract <strong>of</strong> Murraya koe<strong>in</strong>igii was found to show<strong>in</strong>hibition towards Staphylococcus aureus. Similar results were found by Akerele andAy<strong>in</strong>de, 1998. The volatile oil <strong>of</strong> Murraya koe<strong>in</strong>igii was evaluated aga<strong>in</strong>stStaphylococcus aureus and it was found to be highly effective towards it. Streptococcuspyogenes, Shigella dysentriae, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pnemoniae showed<strong>in</strong>hibition towards the extract <strong>of</strong> Murraya koenigii <strong>in</strong> comparison to the commercialdrugs which were found to be resistant towards the organisms. The highest antibacterialactivity was observed aga<strong>in</strong>st Klebsiella pneumoniae by the extract <strong>of</strong> MurrayaKoe<strong>in</strong>igiiCONCLUSIONFrom the present study it can be concluded that the antibacterial activity <strong>of</strong> plantextracts can be a great reward <strong>in</strong> the field <strong>of</strong> phytodrugs. The leaf extracts were foundto show <strong>in</strong>hibitory effect towards the tested organisms <strong>in</strong> comparison to the testedantibiotics. With the <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>of</strong> Multi- drug resistance the concept <strong>of</strong> antibacterial effectwill prove to be helpful <strong>in</strong> the treatment <strong>of</strong> various diseases and can be used as rawmaterial for the phytodrugs <strong>in</strong> comparison to synthetic drugs.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThe author is grateful to the Department <strong>of</strong> Microbiology and FermentationTechnology.Jacob School <strong>of</strong> Biotechnology and Bioeng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g.,SHIATS, Allahabad.REFERENCESAhsan M., Chaudhary A.K., Islam S.N. and Ahmad Z.U.
