Abstract

Extracts of petroleum ether, Benzene, Ethanol and hydro alcohol (50:50) were obtained from leaves of Bryonia seabra and they were evaluated by preparing different concentrations for in vitro antibacterial activity against different microbial strains namely B.subtilis, S.aureus, E.coli, K.pneumonia and M.luteus. The studies showed that both the ethanol and hydroalcohol extracts had significant activity with the standard and their activity had been more than petroleum and benzene extracts. Also they showed an increase in concentration of both the extracts increase the zone of inhibition. Both the extracts had significant broad spectrum antibacterial activity.
