Abstract
From ancient time our forefather use different medicinal plant to treat different types of disease. Because different plants have medicinal activity such as antidiabetic, antibacterial, antifungal activity. In this study we use two different medicinal plant i.e T. Peruviana and O. Tenuiflorum and compare the phytochemical, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activity of the leaf extracts from both the plant against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida auris The extracts of both the plants were prepared using soxhlet apparatus for ethanol extract and petroleum ether extract. The phytochemical activity of both the extracts were evaluated and the reported phytochemicals were alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, saponins, phytosterols, proteins and phenolic compounds. The antimicrobial activities of both the extracts were evaluated using the disc diffusion method; the inhibitory zones were recorded in millimeters. The antioxidant activity of leaf extracts are assessed by means of DPPH free radical scavenging method. The ethanol extracts of T. peruvianashows a weaker Antifungal activity against Candida auris in comparison to Ocimumtenuiflorum In the Petroleum ether extract of both the plants, T. peruvianashows a stronger Antifungal activity against Candida auris in comparison to Ocimumtenuiflorum In the Ethanolic extract of both the plants T.peruvianashows a weaker Antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureusin comparison to Ocimumtenuiflorum As seen in the Petroleum ether extract of both the plants Ocimumtenuiflorum shows a weaker antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus in comparison to T.peruviana.
