Abstract:
The study aimed to isolate and screen Endophytic bacteria from various medicinal plants for
their potential antimicrobial activity against human pathogenic bacteria. This provides
insight into the potential of endophytic bacteria as a source of novel antibiotics to overcome
the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. The plant samples were collected from
Atmiya University's medicinal garden and processed them using surface sterilization
procedures. The collected endophytic bacteria were then subjected to primary and
secondary screenings to determine their antimicrobial activity. 10 bacterial colonies were
isolated, and only one colony showed a zone of inhibition (ZOI) against one human
pathogenic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae (M3).
