Abstract
The in vitro antibacterial activity of leaves, stems, roots and seeds of Abutilon indicum Linn. have been investigated against human pathogenic bacteria i.e. Klebseilla pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus mutans, Bacillus megnetherium and Escherichia coli . The ethanolic extract showed the maximum antibac terial activity followed by petroleum ether and aqueous against all pathogens.
