【 摘 要 】

The present research work was carried out to investigate the antimicrobial (8 bacteria and 1 fungus) activities of different solvent (petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, iso-butanol and ethanol) extracted samples from leaves ofPlumeria obtusaby disc diffusion method. The data revealed that petroleum ether, iso-butanolandethyl acetatefractionsshowed inhibitory activities against all the nine microbial speciesexceptKlebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonasaeruginosa,respectively. The most susceptible gram-positive bacterium wasBacillus subtiliswhile the most resistant gram-positive bacterium wasStaphylococcus aureus.Erwinia carotovorawas the most susceptible gram-negative bacterium whileP.aeruginosawashighly resistant among the gram-negative bacteria.
