Datura stramonium leaves: A Potential Element of Anti –Microbial Activity

Plant have benefited as an alternative medicine in treatment and prevention of diseases. Medicinal plants like Datura stramonium are assessed for phytochemical components and anti microbial activity. Plants have important medicinal components like tropane, alkaloids, amino acids, tannins, carbohydrate. The components phyto chemicals are used to cure different human diseases like skin disorder, ear pain, cough, fever, burns and asthma. In the present study the experiments were performed on phytochemicals and antimicrobial activity on leaves of Datura stramonium using various specific extracts like petroleum ether, chloroform, ethanol and water, crude extract to indicate the presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides, etc. Mostly antimicrobial activity was studied by Disc diffusion method. In antimicrobial activity, extracts were found active against pathogens like Bacillus azotoformans, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus pasteurii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
