Biological Screening of Medicinal Plants for Antituberculosis Effects.

By Philip Anochie

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis was found resistant to all the extracts . There was no growth in the Isoniazid drug containing medium which was used as the control drug. Lowenstein -Jensen (LJ) slopes without extracts or inoculum were also used as controls. There were growth on all the LJ medium containing the extracts. The results of these findings showed that the extracts of these plants exhibited no significant antimicrobial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and therefore not recommendable for clinical use as an anti-tuberculosis drug.
