چکیده
During the present study the antibacterial activity of Morinda citrifolia leaf, fruit and seed extract was assessed in-vitro by using disc diffusion method. A total of five different accessions of M. citrifolia plants were randomly selected and screened for antibacterial activity against five different bacterial pathogens. Overall analysis of the antibacterial activity of various extracts revealed that the best inhibitory activity was produced by the seed extract (12.23 mm) compared to the leaf and fruit extract. E.coli and the Pseudomonas spp were inhibited by all the extracts; however, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella spp were not inhibited by all the extracts. The analysis of antibacterial activity of all the accessions revealed that the best antibacterial activity was produced by accession 5 followed by accession 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
