The objective of the study is to assess antibacterial activities against five bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus MTCC430, Escherichia coli MTCC724, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853, Salmonella typhi MTCC735 and Klebsiella pneumonia MTCC432). Antibacterial study was carried out by disc diffusion method and MIC determination against the pathogens using crude ethanolic extracts. The ethanolic extract exhibited antibacterial activity against Tylophora pauciflora with a zone of inhibition of 9±0.1 mm and MIC value (1 mg/mL). The present study scientifically proved that an ethanolic leaf extract of Tylophora pauciflora is the new antimicrobial agent that can be used to treat infectious diseases.
