Antibacterial Activity of Different Parts of Tamarindus indica

The present work assessed the antibacterial activity of Tamarindus indica against B. subtilis, S. aureus, S. typhi, L. acidophilus, and E. coli. All Tamarindus methanolic extracts exhibited the strongest antibacterial activity against L. acidophilus. Out of the four plant parts that were analyzed, the Tamarindus stem extracts (ethanol, methanol, and aqueous) had the strongest antibacterial activity, followed by the fruit, bark, and leaves. Tamarindus indica has shown high antibacterial action against B. subtilis, S. aureus, S. typhi, and E. coli, in contrast to numerous common drugs listed in Hexa g+7.
