Comprehensive Analysis of Anti-microbial Activity in Nerium oleander L. Latex Extracts

This study explored the antibacterial and antifungal potential of latex extracts.In antibacterial tests, Nerium oleander Staphylococcus aureus Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bacillus subtilis and exhibited superior inhibition zones in acetone extracts, while and Proteus vulgaris Proteus showed inhibition in diethyl ether extracts.The diethyl ether extract surpassed the standard drug tetracycline against vulgaris Aspergillus niger, Fusarium .All extracts demonstrated maximum inhibition at a 15% concentration.In antifungal evaluations against oxysporium Penicillium sp, , and acetone, chloroform, and diethyl ether extracts displayed significant inhibition zones, with concentrations correlating positively with inhibition size.This concentration-dependent relationship indicates latex extracts' potential as a Nerium oleander valuable resource for diverse phytopharmacological activities, suggesting promising applications in future disease treatments.
