Antibacterial activity of Dracaena colorama
Abstract
The antibacterial effect of Dracaena cinnabari (Altwair and Edrah, 2015), D. mahatma (Saranya et al., 2018), D. marginata (Shiny et al., 2012), D. spicata (Nazneen, 2013) and D. victoria (Sundar et al., 2019) have been described. The present study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of D. colorama leaf extracts against microbial pathogens.
