Abstract

The antibacterial activity of various solvent extracts of Aegle marmelos against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was tested using the agar diffusion technique in this study. Aegle marmelos various solvent extracts were put through a qualitative test for phytochemical analysis. The hexane extract of Aegle marmelos exhibited the greatest antibacterial activity against all of the organisms tested, and early phytochemicals analysis revealed that it included all of the components. Various solvent extracts of Aegle marmelos were tested for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using the agar diffusion method. Aegle marmelos hexane and methanol were tested qualitatively for phytochemical analysis. The ethanolic extract of Aegle marmelos demonstrated the greatest antibacterial activity against all of the species tested, and a preliminary phytochemical investigation revealed the presence of phytoconstituents.
