ABSTRACT
The flora of Indian medicinal plants are potent source of bioactive principles. Anti-bacterial activity of Mimosa pudica, Aegle marmelos and Sida cordifolia were studied against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi. The maximum inhibitory zone of inhibition Sida cordifolia was against Bacillus subtilis (35mm) and Salmonella typhi (26 mm). Mimosa pudica and Aegle marmelos were found to be active against all the microorganisms tested and the maximum activity was noted against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi respectively.
