Plants are used as source of medicine from ancient times. The Darjeeling Himalayas is home to a huge number of medicinal plants used by the local people. Dichora febrifuga is a plant that grows in this region and is known to have medicinal values among local peoples. The study was conducted to determine the phytochemical properties and antibacterial potential of the aqueous and ethanol extract of Dichora febrifuga leaves. Our result indicates presence of different phytochemicals in the aqueous and ethanol extracts of Dichora febrifuga leaves. Both the leaf extracts showed antibacterial activity against Gram positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Gram negative bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae. The maximum antibacterial activity was exhibited by ethanol extract of leaf against Bacillus subtilis. The extracts showed better antibacterial potential against Gram positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis compared to gram negative bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae.
