Only fewer medicinal plant shows Antimicrobial and Anthelmintic property in which Zizyphus oenoplia is one of them. The aim of present study was to investigate the preliminary phytochemical constituent and Antimicrobial and Anthelmintic activity of Zizyphus oenoplia against Microbes (bacterial suspention) and earthworm (Pheretima postuma). The concentrations (100, 200, 300 & 400 mg/mL) of each extracts were studied in activity, which involved the determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration by bacteria ,time of paralysis and time of death of the worms. Antimicrobial activity done by Disk diffusion Method and Broth Dilution Method . The total alcoholic extract and its ethanolic and aqueous fraction exhibited anthelmintic activity at highest concentration of 400 mg/mL. Albendazole in same concentration as that of extract was included as standard reference and normal saline water as control. So it could be confirmed that the total alcoholic extract, ethanol fraction and aqueous fraction of root of Zizyphus oenoplia showed significant anthelmintic properties comparable with standard drug, which is effective against parasitic infection of humans.
