<title>Antibacterial Activities Of Various Solvent Extracts From <i>Impatiens Balsamina</i> </title>
<abstract>The antibacterial activities of Hexane, Petroleum ether, Acetone, Methanol, and Aqueous solution extracts from the plant " lessThan i greaterThan Impatiens balsamina" lessThan /i greaterThan  was screened against selective bacterial human pathogens namely  lessThan i greaterThan Shigella boydii, Salmonella paratyphii, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan Cryptococcus neoformans lessThan /i greaterThan  by disc diffusion method. The bacterial pathogens  lessThan i greaterThan Shigella boydii, Candida albicans lessThan /i greaterThan , and  lessThan i greaterThan Cryptrococcus neoformans lessThan /i greaterThan  showed good positive results (Susceptibility) to the plant extract of " lessThan i greaterThan Impatiens balsamina lessThan /i greaterThan " that the zone of inhibition of bacterial pathogens were high in the scale of millimeter ranging from 16 mm to 38 mm. The pathogens  lessThan i greaterThan Proteus vulgaris lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan Staphylococcus aureus lessThan /i greaterThan  shows moderate positive results (Susceptibility) to the plant extracts of " lessThan i greaterThan Impatiens balsamina" lessThan /i greaterThan  that the zone of inhibition of bacterial pathogens ranging from 1mm to 29 mm. From this above findings, we come to the conclusion that the plant " lessThan i greaterThan Impatiens balsamina" lessThan /i greaterThan  possesses certain phytochemical properties and these properties in the form of chemicals were responsible for the zone of inhibition formation on the bacterial growth. Therefore, it can be highly recommended for research in the process of drug development for several diseases</abstract>
