Abstract
Aegle marmelos is used as medicine. Bael patra is another name of Aegle marmelos. Since ancient times, the Aegle marmelos plant has been used to treat a wide range of illnesses. The current study looks for Aegle marmelos leaf antimicrobial activity. Humans use the medications made from Aegle marmelos plants to treat a variety of illnesses. Using a Soxhlet apparatus, an extract of Bael leaves was prepared in various solvents, including ethanol and distilled water, in order to detect the antimicrobial activity of the leaves of Aegle marmelos. The Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique was used to test the antimicrobial susceptibility. In this case, Mueller-Hinton Agar media was employed. Spread across the petri plates with solidified MHA media containing the test organism Enterococcus faecium (MTCC 5695) was the nutrient broth. The sterile discs of Whatmans paper were left in a series of dilutions with varying concentrations of aqueous extract and ethanol. The disc that was dipped in distilled water served as the negative control, and the antibiotic gentamicin served as the positive control. The discs that had previously been prepared in various extracts were placed on Petri dishes that held MHA medium. We stored the plates for incubation. According to research, the clear zones that formed around the discs demonstrated how effective Aegle marmelos was at fighting microorganisms. According to the studies, ethanol extract of Aegle marmelos produced amazing results when compared to aqueous extract.
