Parkia javanica, a medicinal plant, of North-East India, was screened for anti cholera activity against 4 Vibrio cholarae strains. Fresh stem barks of Parkia javanica was collected and crude methanol extract of Parkia javanica (MEPJ) was prepared by Hahnshin rotary evaporator. The minimum inhibitory concentration of MEPJ was evaluated on Vibrio cholarae strains by serial dilution technique. 10mg/ml of MEPJ is the IC100 dose for Vibrio cholarae strains. MEPJ also showed bactericidal activity against all four Vibrio cholarae at the same concentration. The lag phase become extended after treatment with IC50 dose of MEPJ. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was increased (40% - 60%) in presence of MEPJ indicating ROS mediated mechanism of growth inhibition.
