Abstract

 

Alcoholic and aqueous extract of leaves of Eucalyptus globulus was studied for in vitro for its antimicrobial and antifungal activity. The study was done against gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and fungus (Candida albicans). The evaluation was done by determining its inhibition zone. Result demonstrated that alcoholic extract has broad spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activity on gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and fungus, whereas the aqueous extract has only broad spectrum antibacterial activity. Our study confirms the antibacterial and antifungal property of E. globules.
