Abstract
Oxystelma esculentum R. Br., leaf and stem were extracted with five different organic solvents viz. ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, chloroform and petroleum ether and evaluating the antibacterial activity by disc diffusion assay against various human pathogenic bacteria. Chloramphenicol is used as the standard antibiotic. The result of the present study reveals, among the five solvents both leaf and stem extracts of ethyl acetate and ethanol shows significant results on more number of tested organisms. Ethanol leaf and stem extracts exhibits greater zone of inhibition on Brevibacterium paucivorans. The moderate level of inhibitions shown in maximum number of tested organisms.
