ABSTRACT
Disc diffusion method was employed to determine the effect of methanol, chloroform and acetone extracts of the dried leaves of Plumeria alba Linn. [Apocyitaceac] against fungi [Candida albicans] and bacteria [Bacillus subtilis, Proteus vulgaris Staphylococcus aureus. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus fecalis, Escherichio coil, Staphylococcus albus and Klebsiella pneumoniae]. The methanol and acetone extracts exhibited a prominent antimicrobial activity. The methanolic and acetone extracts were further fractionated by column chromatography to yield 2 pure isolates. The methanol pure component-2 [MPC[2]-50% Ethyl acetateMethanol] and Acetone pure component-2 [APC[2]-70% AcetoneEthyl acetate] have shown significant activity against all organisms used except Klebsiella
