Abstract
Medicinal plants have considerable widespread use as crude drugs in the primary health care of communities. Various plants have already been tested for their antimicrobial activity to discover new antimicrobial agents. In this investigation antimicrobial activities of aqueous and methanolic extracts of Heterophragma adenophyllum leaves and seeds were screened as these have been used since centuries in traditional medicine for the treatment of skin and urinary tract infections and also as antidiarrheol and antidiabetic agents
