Abstract : The present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Pithecellobium dulce root against five
microorganisms by using Agar well diffusion and broth microdilution methods. The roots of P. dulce were continuously
macerated with ethanol and water respectively. The results showed that the ethanolic extract active against Staphylococcus
aureus and Bacillus subtilis that showed the largest inhibition zone of 11.67±0.58 mm against Bacillus subtilis, the lowest
MIC of 250 μg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus and the lowest MBC of 500 μg/ml against Bacillus subtilis. The water
extract did not showed the activity against Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae but showed the largest inhibition
zone of 8.00±0.00 mm and the lowest MIC of 62.5 μg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus, the lowest MBC and MFC of
>2000 μg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans. The results of the present study refer
that P. dulce extracts possess bioactive compounds having important antimicrobial properties. Therefore, the plant extracts
can be subjected to further isolation of therapeutic antimicrobial agents for pharmacological and toxicological evaluation.
