Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate antibacterial and antifungal activity of plant extract taken from two different plants, Achyranthes aspera Linn., and Ocimum basilicum against Streptomyces fulvissimus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Shigella flexneri, Escherichiae coli, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonus aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium chrysogenum using well diffusion method. The in vitro study revealed that ethanolic extract was more effective than aqueous extract. Plant extracts of A.aspera Linn. was reported to be more effective on fungal and bacterial species than O.basilicum.
