Abstract
In the current study the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of leaf of Nyctanthes arbortristis were screened for phytochemicals and antibacterial activity using agar well diffusion assay. Streptomycin was used as positive control. The test microorganisms used in the present study were Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis. Ethanol extracts showed higher degree of antibacterial activity than aqueous extracts.
