Ethanolic and aqueous extracts of 10 Indian medicinal plants traditionally used in medicine at Vidisha district were studied for their antimicrobial activity against human pathogenic bacteria of clinical origin. Of these, 09 ethanolic extracts and 08 aqueous extracts of medicinal plant showed varied levels of antibacterial activity against one or more tested human pathogenic bacterial strains. Overall, broad-spectrum antibacterial activity was observed in 05 Indian medicinal plants (both ethanolic and aqueous extracts) against all test microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Streptococcus pneumoniae).
