Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI), the most common of all bacterial infections affects human throughout their life span. Twenty percent to 35% of all women experience at least one episode of UTI sometime in their lives. The effect of antibacterial activity of Aegle marmelos leaf with methanolic extract of 100μl concentration was extraordinary properties against Bacillus sp followed by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus recorded respectively whereas the effect of antifungal activity of Aegle marmelos leaf with diethyl either extract of 100μl concentration was maximum zone of inhibition 10.00±3.34 mm zone of inhibition against Bacillus sp followed by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus and the effect of antifungal activity of Aegle marmelos leaf with diethyl either extract of 100 μl concentration was maximum zone of inhibition 10.00±3.34 mm against Bacillus sp followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The minimum zone of inhibition 3.67±1.23mm zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus recorded respectively. The characterization of phytochemical compounds of Aegle marmelos was 17 compounds identified with respective molecular formula and molecular weight and retention time of functional group for identified of bioactive compounds by FTIR.
