Abstract

The crude extract with solvents such as ethanol, petroleum ether, acetone and benzene of Entodon myurus
were tested for antibacterial activity against some pathogenic bacteria by agar well diffusion method. All the
plant extracts showed activity against the tested microorganisms. Maximum antibacterial activity showed by
acetone (29 mm) and methanol (29 mm) extract against Enterobacter aerogenes while minimum antibacterial
activity showed by acetone extract(20 mm) against klebsiella pneumoniae.
