Study of Phytochemical Composition and Antibacterial Activity of Emblica officinalis (Amla) Fruit Extract

In present study we focused our interest on phytochemistry and antibacterial activity of plant against Staphylococcus aurreus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. TLC screening of phytochemical analysis showed a content of Emblicanin compounds, Gallic and Ellagic acids, Quercetin, Chebulinic and Chebulagic acids. Results showed antibacterial activity of E.O extract against Staph aureus, Klebsella pneumonia and Pseudomonus aurginosa at different concentrations. The highest inhibition zone was recorded for S. aureus bacteria ranged from 16±0.57 to 33.3±0.3 at 10 mg/ml to 100 mg/ml concentrations respectively in comparison with inhibition zones which were recorded for K. pneumonia 11.3±0.6 mm. to 28±0.06 mm. and P. aeurginosa 10.6±1.2 to 22.6±1.2 mm. at same concentrations.
