The present study was to evaluate the qualitative estimation of phytochemicals and antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts of leaves of Ocimum sanctum against some selected microbial strains. The qualitative analysis was carried out to investigate the presence or absence of Alkaloids, Carbohydrates and Glycosides, Phenolic compounds and Tannins, Proteins and Amino acids, Flavonoids, Terpenoids, Saponins, Phlobotannins and Steroids. The antimicrobial potential of methanolic extract of Ocimum sanctum was determined on the basis of mean diameter of zone of inhibition around the disc in millimeters. Antimicrobial activity was studied using disc diffusion method against three Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus) and three Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris) bacteria pathogens.
