| Abstract | ||
| Medicinal plants have been used to cure a number of diseases. Though the recovery is slow, the therapeutic use of medicinal plant is becoming popular because of its ability to cause side effects and antibiotic resistant microorganisms. The antibacterial activity of water , methanol and chloroform extract of Lawsonia inermis (Henna plant powder ) was investigated by agar well diffusion method. The bacterial isolates used for antibacterial study were Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas sp. and Proteus sp. The chloroform extract of henna plant was the most effective one against the bacterial isolates used in this study followed by methanol extract , while water extract had no effect or had just a little effect . According to results of this study , the highest tested concentration of 500 mg/ml of the plant extract was more active than other concentrations | ||
