摘要：Methanol and water extracts of leaf, stem and root of Euphorbia hirta Linn. and Tiliacora acuminata Miers.were screened for their phytochemical compounds and in vitro antibacterial activity against two medicallyimportant pathogenic bacteria namely Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas fluorescens. Phytochemicalscreening reveals the presence of several phytoconstituents in both the plant species and many of thesehave been investigated scientifically for antimicrobial activity. In vitro antibacterial study was done using AgarWell Diffusion method, and the study reveals the methanol leaf extracts of E. hirta and methanol root extractsof T. acuminata recorded highest activity against both the test organisms.
