An extract from the leaves of Aerva lanata, Tribulus terrestris were studied for antimicrobial activity against five bacterial and fungal species. It includes both Gram positive and Gram negative organisms. In current study four concentrations (5, 10, 15 and 20µl) of extract and two different solvents (ethanol and methanol) used. The maximum concentration of 100µl was excellent antibacterial properties in bacteria like Pseudomonas sp. (20.5±0.06mm), Escherichia coli (15.5±0.03mm) and Staphylococcus aureus (15.5±0.07mm) and fungi are Penicillium sp. (20.0±0.07mm) and Fusarium sp. (19.0±0.07mm) were observed in Aerva lanata ethanolic extract than compared to methanol extract than compared to Tribulus terrestris plant extract.
