Anti-bacterial activity of Mimosa pudica, Aegle marmelos and Sida cordifolia were studied against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi. The maximum inhibitory zone of inhibition Sida cordifolia was against Bacillus subtilis (35mm) and Salmonella typhi (26 mm).
