Trachyspermum ammi's seeds/leaves aqueous, ethanolic and methanolic extracts were screened for its antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among all the extracts, ethanolic extract of Trachyspermum ammi's seeds were found to be effective against all the test bacteria but its aqueous extract was effective only against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. While it's methanolic extract showed inhibitory potential against a number of test bacteria. In case of Trachyspermum ammi's leave extracts, alcoholic extracts exhibited low antibacterial activity and the aqueous extract possess no antibacterial property at all.
