Abstract
Methanol and water extracts of leaf, stem and ischolar_main of Euphorbia hirta Linn. and Tiliacora acuminata Miers. were screened for their phytochemical compounds and in vitro antibacterial activity against two medically important pathogenic bacteria namely Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas fluorescens. Phytochemical screening reveals the presence of several phytoconstituents in both the plant species and many of these have been investigated scientifically for antimicrobial activity. In vitro antibacterial study was done using Agar Well Diffusion method, and the study reveals the methanol leaf extracts of E. hirta and methanol ischolar_main extracts of T. acuminata recorded highest activity against both the test organisms.
