【 摘 要 】

Problems statement: To evaluate the antimicrobial activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Ficus benghalensis and Ficus racemosa against three bacterial strains that is Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia. Approach: The different concentrations viz. 25, 50 and 75 mg mL^-1 of aqueous as well as ethanolic extract solutions of roots of Ficus benghalensis and Ficus racemosa were tested against above three bacterial strains. The effects were compared with that of a standard antibiotic-loaded disc, ampicillin (10 mcg/disc) of Himedia Labs. Finally, the plates were incubated with lids closed at 37
