Antibacterial Assay: The agar disc diffusion method was followed for antibacterial susceptibility test [17]. The 6 mm discs were impregnated with 20 µl of the extracts and placed in the inoculated Muller Hinton agar. The noculated plates were incubated at 35°C for 24-28hrs and the inhibition zones measured around the discs (mm diameter).Control was maintained with solvent alone
