<title>Evaluation Of Antibacterial Activity Of Cuscuta Reflexa And Abutilon Indicum </title>
<abstract>There is a currently worldwide upsurge in the use of herbal preparations and active ingredients of medicinal plant in health care. This is particularly true in the rural areas of Asian countries where herbal medicines are the only choice for treating human ailments. Present study reveals the difference in the antimicrobial activity pattern extracts of lessThan i greaterThan  Cuscuta reflexa  lessThan /i greaterThan and  lessThan i greaterThan Abutilon indicum lessThan /i greaterThan  in ethanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate and aqueous solvents against the pathogenic organisms  lessThan i greaterThan E.coli lessThan /i greaterThan  (ATCC-25922),  lessThan i greaterThan Staphylococcus aureus lessThan /i greaterThan  (ATCC-25923),  lessThan i greaterThan Pseudomonas aeruginosa lessThan /i greaterThan  (ATCC-27853),  lessThan i greaterThan Proteus vulgaris lessThan /i greaterThan (ATCC 6380), lessThan i greaterThan  Salmonella paratyphi lessThan /i greaterThan (ATCC-9150),  lessThan i greaterThan Shigella sonnei lessThan /i greaterThan (ATCC-25931),  lessThan i greaterThan Salmonella typhimurium( lessThan /i greaterThan ATCC-25241), and  lessThan i greaterThan Klebsiella pneumonia lessThan /i greaterThan (ATCC-27736). Among all the extracts Ethanol and Chloroform showed greater activity with a zone of inhibition ranging from 6mm to 17mm. Ethanol extract of  lessThan i greaterThan Cuscuta reflexa lessThan /i greaterThan  exhibited better antibacterial activity with IC lessThan sub greaterThan 50  lessThan /sub greaterThan value range 16.93-55mg/ml when compared with ethanol extract  lessThan i greaterThan Abutilon indicum lessThan /i greaterThan . The results of crude extracts were compared with standard Antibiotic lessThan i greaterThan  Chloramphenicol lessThan /i greaterThan (30 mcg).</abstract>
