The antibacterial property of the organic extracts against four isolates of multiple drug resistant bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio cholera and Escherichia coli, was tested using standard disc diffusion assay. Briefly, the 6 mm diameter paper discs impregnated with 100 µl test compound (20 ppm) were placed over the surface of a Muller Hinton agar plate swabbed with test organisms. Paper discs impregnated with 100 µl DMSO were also used as control. The plates were incubated for 24 h at 28 ± 2 °C and the formation of clear zones around the discs was considered as the positive indication of inhibitory activity. The zone of inhibition around the discs was recorded after 24 h using Hi Antibiotic Zone Scale (Himedia, India).
