Abstract

In present study carried out the antibacterial activity of the plant Abutilon pannosum (Forst.f.) Schlecht., which is a cosmopolitan in distribution belonging to the family Malvaceae. Different parts of this plant are in use to treat various ailments in ethno medicine especially its leaves have been used for treating infections. In this study antibacterial activity of the extracts prepared from the dried leaves of A. pannosum (Forst.f.) Schlecht., using agar-well diffusion method against both Gram positive and negative microorganisms. Among all the extracts the ethanolic extract of the leaves showed significant (P<0.001) antibacterial activity comparable to the standard penicillin potassium and streptomycin sulphate against selected gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
