Abstract: Traditional Indians uses tender as well as matured fruit rind of Mangifera indica for the treatment of diarrhoea, dysentery and other intestinal troubles. Microbial infections are mainly responsible for gastrointestinal disorders. Hence in this study antibacterial activity is performed with the extracts of Mangifera indica against diarrhoeal causative agents. The aim of the present study is to assess the antibacterial activity of tender and mature fruit rind of Mangifera indica. The following techniques were used to assess antibacterial effect which includes disc diffusion assay, MIC, MBC, % inhibition and IC50 were used to assess antibacterial efficiency of Mangifera indica seed kernel aqueous and phenolic extracts (MIMSKAE, MIMSKPE, MITSKAE AND MITSKPE). All the extracts showed good antibacterial activity against all the clinical pathogens tested with better percentage of inhibition and IC50.
Keywords: Bacterial pathogens, MIC, MBC, Antibacterial activity, IC50, Percentage inhibition, Mangifera indica, Seedkernel.
