Abstract

The present study deals with the analysis of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum. Tribulus terrestris leaf extract has the carboxylic acid, alkane, aldehyde, unsaturated ketone, phenol, anhydride and halogen compound. These compounds are effective against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. The results from the present screening revealed that the strongest antibacterial activity was exhibited by the ethanol extract, and the least activity in the chloroform and water. The test organisms used in this study are associated with various forms of human pathogenic bacteria. The highest inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus in the ethanol extract then the chloroform and water extract. The highest inhibition of Bacillus subtilis in the ethanol extract of Tribulus terrestris then the chloroform and water extract. The elevated level of inhibition in ethanol extract then the chloroform and water extract.
