The present study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial
activity of Bougainville spectabilis stem, leaves and flowers
dissolved in various solvents. Antimicrobial activity of different
solvent extracts of B. spectabilis was tested against poultry
strains of Salmonella gallinarum (S.gallinarum) and Escherichia
coli (E.coli) by disk diffusion method. Distilled water was used as
negative control, ciprofloxacin and ampicillin were used as
positive control in S. gallinarum and E.coli respectively. The
studies also include the qualitative analysis of various
phytochemical components e.g., (Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Glycosides,
Phlobatanins, Saponins, Tanins, Steroids and Terpenoids) present in
the B. spectabilis extracts of stem, leaves and flowers dissolved
in various solvents. By observing the inhibition zones there was no
significant difference in the results obtained for the different
extracts of the B. spectabilis stem, leaves and flowers. In this
way we may indicate that different parts of B. spectabilis have
potentials as antibacterial herbal remedies in poultry.
