Abstract
Sahdevi (Vernonia cineria less) were evaluated for antibacterial activity against human pathogenic bacterial strains i.e. Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli The methanolic extracts of the plant parts showed the significant activity followed by water and petroleum ether extracts. The methanolic extract of roots showed maximum activity against K. pneumoniae(18mm) minimum activity against S.typhi(l4mm) by well diffusion method. The use of plant for its antibacterial activity and treatment of fever has been suggested.
