- Title

- Authors

- Abstract
Antibacterial activity of leaf extracts of Argemone mexicana L. (Papavaraceae) was evaluated against two gram positive (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and two gram negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) pathogenic bacterial strains. The crude leaf extracts cold aqueous, hot aqueous and ethanolic extracts were tested by disc diffusion method. Though all the extracts were found effective, the ethanolic extract showed maximum antibacterial activities against the test bacterial strains followed by hot aqueous extract and cold aqueous extract.
