ABSTRACT
The in vitro antibacterial activity of the extracts and isolates of Acalypha canescana [leaves] have been studied against bacteria [Bacillus subtilis, Staphlylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa] and fungi [Candida albicans]. The total acetone extract, total methanol extract, total chloroform extract, total benzene extract and the fractionated two isolates of acetone extract and benzene extract have shown significant activity against the organisms used, almost comparable with the standard drugs Ciprofloxacin and Clotrimazolc. This in vitro testing also resulted in activity guided isolation of four antibacterial and antifungal principles from the leaves
