Results: Methanol extract possessed better antibacterial activity against two pathogenic bacteria, B. subtilis (FO 3026)
and S. lutea (IFO 3232) than commercial antibiotic nalidixic acid. Acetone extract showed moderate sensitivity whereas
B. subtilis (FO 3026), S. lutea (IFO 3232) and X. campestris (IAM 1671) showed resistance to ethyl acetate and petroleum
spirit extracts. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of various extracts were ranged between 128–2048 μgml-1.
