Abstract
In well-established homeopathic arrangement of medication, roots of plant Baptisia tinctoria has been utilized broadly to treat the typhoid, however the detailed examination for antimicrobial action has never been done on this medicinally active plant. So the current work was intended to assess the antimicrobial action on various strains. The unrefined or uncharacterized extracts and fraction of bioactive unrefined extract were readied using standard protocols in the order of increasing polarity. In present investigations disc diffusion method was utilized to examine the antimicrobial activity on different gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains and fungal strains. The methanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction has most extreme antimicrobial activity while the remaining test samples did not show any inhibitory action of different bacterial as well as fungal strains. As the preliminary phytochemical screening suggested the presence of phenolic as well as flavonoids as major classes of compounds in methanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction, so finally it can be concluded that these compounds may be responsible for the antimicrobial profile of plant.
