Abstract
Extracts of Kalanchoe pinnata (KP), Kalanchoe robusta (KR) and Kalanchoe blossfediana (KB) were screened for their antibacterial activity against bacterial strains of Clostridium perfringens, Enterobacter aerogenes, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus. Out of these three plants species, KR showed maximum zone of inhibition against Clostridium perfringens (12.6mm), KP shows maximum zone of inhibition against Enterobacter aerogenes (12.5mm), KR shows maximum zone of inhibition against Salmonella typhimurium (14mm) and KP shows maximum zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus (12.3mm).
