Abstract

The present study aims at evaluating the antibacterial activity and phytochemical screening of Colocasia esculenta. It is an important medicinal plant in India which is used in traditional medicine. The leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals. Leaves of Colocasiaesculenta were extracted with organic solvent like ethyl acetate and its biological activity against antibacterial strain was checked for 100 ppm concentration. Leaf juice of this plant is applied over scorpion sting or in snake bite as well as it is used in food poisoning of plant origin.
