Abstract (2. Language):
Water (at room temperature and at elevated temperature), 70% ethanol, 80 % methanol, acetone, ethyl acetate and chloroform extracts of Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy) in a final concentration of 100 mg/ml were evaluated for their antibacterial properties against bacterial pathogens such as Escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using agar well diffusion method. Water (at room temperature and at elevated temperature), ethanolic and ethyl acetate extracts of Tinospora leaves showed an average inhibitory zone of 14mm, 14.5mm, 17mm and 12.5mm respectively which indicates that ethanolic extract shows best result having zone of inhibition more than that of tetracycline (12mm against all pathogens) while extracts of methanol, acetone and chloroform didn't show any result. In case of Tinospora stem and root best result was shown by hot aqueous extract with a zone of inhibition of 16mm and 17mm respectively. The ethanolic extract of root also gave a zone of 17mm.
