Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the aqueous, extracts of the seed of Argemone mexicana L. (Papaveraceae) using agar well diffusion method against common strains of bacterial species, namely, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus. Argemone mexicana L. (Papaveraceae), commonly known as Prickly Poppy in English and Premathandu in Tamil found in Mexico and now has widely naturalised in the United States, India, Bangladesh and Ethiopia. The highest inhibition zone observed for A. mexicana seed against Bacillus cereus was 20.05 mm. Antifungal Activity in Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger were done and shows maximum inhibition. This research suggests that natural produces obtained from A. mexicana L. may provide to the evolution of novel antimicrobial agentsKeywords
