The present study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of seventeen genotypes of Coriander leaves and seeds collected from Tarai and Kumaun regions of Uttarakhand state of India. The methanolic extracts of leaves and seeds genotypes were screened against four human pathogenic bacterial strains; Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi at four different concentrations. All the methanolic extracts of leaves and seeds had inhibitory effect against tested bacteria E. coli, S. typhi and B. subtilisi, while no antibacterial activity was observed against P. aeruginosa for both leaves and seeds extracts. The study also evaluates the genotypic variation and similarities that exist between the Coriander leaves and seeds on the basis of its antibacterial potency through a statistical approach i.e. cluster analysis, regarding genetic makeup of Coriander cultivars so that future investigation may be carried out to develop a new variety for further applications in pharmacology.
