Studies on Antibacterial, Phytochemical and Pharmacognostical activities of Indigofera longeracemosa

Antibacterial screening of the crude extracts of Indigofera longeracemosa were tested against seven important human pathogenic bacterial strains including gram-negative such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae and gram–positive namely Bacillus subtilis and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The results highlighted that most of the bacterial species exhibited better growth inhibitory activity. Aqueous and hexane extracts exhibited good antibacterial properties than other two extracts. Furthermore studies pertaining preliminary phytochemical and pharmagonostic analysis have been investigated.
