Abstract: Aim- Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of ethanol solvent extracts of medicinal plants. Method- Ethanol extract of leaves of 7 plants belonging to different families were evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activity against 4 bacteria and 4 fungi using agar dilution method. Results- M. azedarach were strongly inhibited the growth of S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa whereas N. oleander has strongly inhibited the growth of B. subtilis against bacteria. M. azedarach has maximum antibacterial and antifungal activity in comparative to other plants. P. stratiotes and E. crassipes have minimum activity against all other plants on antibacterial and antifungal activity respectively. The most susceptible bacterium was E. coli and the most resistant was B. subtilis. Conclusions- All these plants have therapeutic applications and are extremely efficient against bacterial and fungal infections. These plants can be further subjected to isolation of the therapeutic antimicrobials and to further pharmacological evaluation.
