Trigonella
foenum-graecum seed was extracted with water-alcohol by maceration
method. Its antimicrobial activity was tested by well diffusion technique
againist Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli,
Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Pasteurella multocida, Yersinia enterocolitica, Klebsiella pneumoniae,
Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and Candida albicans, Rhodotorula glutinis yeast and standard
antibiotics.
Extract of Trigonella
foenum-graecum seed was detected to be effective against
Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria and yeasts. Best
antibacterial activity has been found against P. multicoda (22 mm) and best
activity for yeasts has been found against R. glutinis (20 mm)
In general,
the antimicrobial activity of Trigonella
foenum-graecum seed extract is lower than penicillin and erythromycin
antibiotics.
