Antimicrobial activities of three species of family mimosaceae

The antimicrobial activities of crude methanolic extract of leaves of acacia nilotica l., albizia lebbeck l. and mimosa himalayana gamble belonging to family mimosaceae were investigated in this research work. antibacterial activity was studied by agar well diffusion method against one gram-positive bacillus subtilis and three gram-negative pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumonia. crude extract of all plants showed best activity against gram-negative bacterial strains while minor inhibition zones were found against gram positive bacterial strains. antifungal activity of crude plant extract was screened by agar tube dilution method against aspergillus nigar and aspergillus flavus. these results showed that these plants extracts have potential against bacterias, while against fungi their activity is not much effective.
