The aqueous, ethanol and methanol fruit extracts of Flacourtia jungomas (Lour.) Raeus. have been tested for antibacterial activities against bacterial strains, viz., Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. All the three fruit extracts of Flacourtia jungomas possessed antibacterial activities against all the tested bacterial strains. Ethanol and methanol extracts were more potent than the aqueous extract which indicates that the more effective phytochemical is organic solvent soluble and needs to be explored further.
