Plant based medicine were commonly used in India and all over world. Medicinal plants produce a variety of compounds of known therapeutic properties. The substances can either inhibit the growth of pathogens or kill them and have least toxicity to host cell are considered for developing new antimicrobial drugs. Plants are known to contain innumerable biologically active compounds, which possess antibacterial properties. Medicinal components from plants play an important role in conventional plant derived medicine. They have been a part of the evolution of human healthcare for thousands of years. Now a day, nearly eighty percent of the global population turns to plant derive medicines as their first line of defense for maintaining health and combating diseases. Antibacterial activity of petroleum ether, ethanol and water extract of different parts of Salsola kali Linn. was studied against E. coli, K. pneumoniae, S. aureus, B. subtilis and S. mutans.
