Abstract:

The leaf of Morinda lucida was screened for antibacterial activity. Aqueous and Ethanolic extract of the plant were useful in order to evaluate their antibacterial activities. Also, some conventional antibiotics were used to determine their effects on bacteria that cause Typhoid Fever. From the above given information, statistical application of analysis of variance was applied and the results revealed that among the bacteria screened, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most resistant bacteria strain, while Flavobacterium sp., the most susceptible one. Morinda lucida extract was active against all the tested bacteria, while some conventional antibiotics were active, some were not. The phytochemical screening of the leaf extract of Morinda lucida indicated the presence of alkanoid, tannis phlobatannin, saponnis, flavonoids, steroid, glycosides, anthraquinone, phenol, regins and reducing sugar. In conclusion, there exists significance difference among the effect of the antibiotics drugs on the bacteria that cause typhoid fever as well as the bacteria that cause typhoid fever due to the antibiotics.
