Abstract:
The aim of present study was to assess phytochemical profile and antibacterial activities of some selected bacterial species. All the bacteria species tested showed higher inhibition zone varying from 20mm-27mm with 100mg/ml of ethyl acetate, methanol, Hexane and chloroform respectively. Moreover, the phytochemical profile revealed the presence of steroids, alkaloids, flavonoids and tannin in the extracts. Thus, result of this study showed that Garlic bulb extract could be a good candidate for production of synthetic antibacterial drug for the treatment of infections caused by the organisms used in this study.
