Abstract
Aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of wheat grass (Triticum aestivum L.) against E. coli. E. coli was isolated from the urine of UTI infected patient. Urine sample was culture on EMB agar medium and these pure culture strains were characterized according to Bergey’s Manual of determinative bacteriology. The 50% water extract of wheat grass (Triticum aestivum L.) was prepared and observed its antimicrobial activity against isolated E. coli. Maximum inhibition zone (28.66 mm) was seen by extract (concentration 50g/ml) of 5 days old wheat grass and extract of wheat sprouts showed 27.66 mm inhibition zone against E. coli. 100 μg/ml water extract of wheat grass showed 160% more inhibition zone against E. coli as compared to 50 μg/ml Norfloxacin antibiotics. Present study confirmed that wheat grass (Triticum aestivum L.) significantly inhibited the growth of E. coli and can be good alternative of chemical antibiotics.
