This is evaluated by using zone of inhibition studies and minimum inhibitory concentration. The microorganisms used include <em>Shigella flexneri</em>, <em>Salmonella typhimurium, Vibrio cholera </em>and<em> Candida parapsilosis</em>. Inhibition zones of plant extracts were compared with standard antibiotics like Neomycin, and Kanamycin. Inhibition zones are revealed by methanol extract which is comparatively more than the ethanol extract.  For methanol extract, <em>Salmonella typhimurium</em> shows the highest inhibition zone (25.13±0.52) whereas <em>Vibrio cholera shows</em> the least inhibition zone (21.33±0.53)<strong>. </strong>The same extract shows maximum antimicrobial activity against <em>Salmonella typhimurium</em> followed by<em> Candida parapsilosis and Shigella flexneri.</em> These possibilities can build-up a novel idea in the preparation of pharmaceutical products.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Bulletin of Scientific Research}, author={T, Moharana and S.K, Bahira and R.R, Sahoo and S, Tejashweta}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={59–65} }
