Tinospora cordifolia- leaves aqueous extract biocidal activity on gram-negative bacteria

Tinospora cordifolia- leaves aqueous extract is having strong biocidal properties and used as a main home remedial plant since ancient times. Herbal extraction is having slow-acting properties, so a single dose is not effective as allopathic medicine, perhaps long-term exposure is required. Biocidal activity of leaves aqueous extract is tested using human gastro-intestinal gram-negative pathogenic bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from the wastewater treatment plant. Satisfactory results were obtained that confirm the safety of Tinospora cordifolia leaves aqueous extraction as an effective home remedial as well as pharmaceutical product due to having effective biocidal properties. To the best of our knowledge, aqueous extraction of Tinospora cordifolia leaves with its biocidal activity is first reported in this study.
