Abstract

Leaf extracts of Syzygium stocksii and Syzygium densiflorum were screened for their
antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method. Ethyl acetate extract of these plants were studied using six
bacterial strains (Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherishia coli,
Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and three fungal species (Aspergillus niger, Alternaria alternata
and Pencillium chrysogenum). The extracts showed higher activity against pathogenic bacteria whereas the
fungal species were more resistant. MICs and MLCs were also determined for the bacterial species.
