Antimicrobial activity of 10 traditional coastal medicinal plant species from South west coast of India were tested against 12 human bacterial pathogens and two cattle pathogens. Among the plant species tested, a butanolic extract of Bacopa monnieri showed maximum inhibitory activity against the human pathogen Escherichia coli, whereas the butanolic extract of Aristolochia indica. L showed maximum inhibitory activity against the cattle pathogen Listeria monocytogen. The mean zone of inhibition indicates that the growth of Salmonella enteritidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were highly inhibited by the coastal medicinal plant extract than the other bacterial species and also the antibacterial activity was found higher in the butanolic extract than water extract.
对来自印度西南海岸的10种传统沿海药用植物物种针对12种人类细菌病原体和两种牛病原体进行了抗菌活性测试。在所测试的植物物种中，积雪草的丁醇提取物对人类病原体大肠杆菌表现出最大抑制活性，而马兜铃的丁醇提取物对牛病原体单核细胞增生李斯特菌表现出最大抑制活性。平均抑菌圈表明，沿海药用植物提取物对肠炎沙门氏菌和铜绿假单胞菌生长的抑制作用比对其他细菌物种的抑制作用更强，并且丁醇提取物中的抗菌活性高于水提取物。
