Abstract
Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Calotropis gigantea are common weed and known for various
medicinal properties. The aim of the present study was to screen leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis and roots of
Calotropis gigantea for the antimicrobial activity against clinical isolates of bacteria. The leaf and root extract
were obtained by the organic solvents methanol. The methanolic extract of the E. camaldulensis and C. gigantea
was studied for its antagonistic activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris,
Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella paratyphi. The
results obtained from this study inferred that the leaf extract of Eucalyptus camaldulensis was effectively
inhibited the growth of test organism, while Calotropis gigantae did not show the activity which is in combination
with E. camaldulensis shows the more activity against all pathogens.
