Abstract

Ethanolic extracts of gum resin of Boswellia serrata, bark of Moringa oleifera and leaves of Vitex negundo were subjected to preliminary screening for antimicrobial activity. All ethanolic extracts exhibited significant anti-microbial activity comparable to the standard drug tetracycline. The mixture of all three extracts together in equal concentration shows more inhibitory zone as compared to other extracts.
