ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to investigate the vibriocidal activity of crude
extracts of 18 ethnomedicinal plants used by Nicobarese tribe. Plants were collected from the villages of
Car Nicobar Island with the help of TKPs (traditional knowledge practitioners). The methanol extracts were
obtained by cold percolation method and the antimicrobial activity of the
extracts was observed by agar well diffusion method. Results indicated that out
of 18 plants, seven plants exhibited vibriocidal activity. Morinda citrifolia, Ganophyllum falcatum and Leea aequata were most active among the plants tested. This study thus can be further utilized to
formulate the new antimicrobial agents to fight against Vibrio cholerae.
