Abstract:
The antibacterial activity of Aloe vera extract with seven different solvents was evaluated against pathogenic bacteria like Bacillus cereus, E.coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using standard disc diffusion method. Various solvents such as acetone, ethanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform, Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), Methanol and water were used for extracts. A gradual increase in the zone of inhibition with increase in the concentration of Aloe vera extract with different solvents was observed. The results showed that, Aloe vera – chloroform extract has showed significant antimicrobial activity against all the three pathogenic bacteria.
