Its medicinal properties are reported in traditional system of medicine such as Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani. In vitro antibacterial activity was conducted in bacterial strain isolated from urine samples from patients suffering from urinary tract infection. Total 25 urine samples were collected randomly from various hospitals and pathology laboratories in Chandrapur area and roots of Asparagus resimoses were collected from forest of Chandrapur area. Effect of methanol extract of Asparagus resimoses was tested invitro by agar well diffusion method at concentration of1 ug/ul and 0.1 ug/ul in Dimethyl Sulphoxide. Methanol extract at concentration 1 ug/ul shows more activity against most of the bacterial strains isolated from urine samples. The effects produced by methanolic extract were compared with Nitrofuratoin.
The study revealed that the Asparagus resimoses can be effective against the pathogens causing urinary tract infection and it helpful to doctors to cure urinary tract infection.
