Abstract

The plants provide a source of inspiration for novel drug compounds, as plant derived medicines made large contributions to human health and well being. The Present investigation is about the antibacterial activity of Breynia patens (Roxb.) Benth. & Hook.f. against five bacterial strains using the disc diffusion agar
method. The whole plant extracted with ethanol, chloroform, petroleum ether and Aqueous. The sensitivity order of the Methanol crude extracts was illustrated by the corresponding inhibition zone diameter to be Salmonella paratyphii(20±009mm zone of incubation) and followed by other bacterial strains. The results
indicated that the plant extract exhibited antibacterial properties, thus justifying scientifically their traditional uses as medicinal plants
