Abstract
The study aims to evaluate the combined antimicrobial activity of Acalypha wilkesiana and Cordyline fructicosa plant stems. Extract is prepared by Maceration process ethanol and water used as solvents. The result obtained for ethanolic and aqueous extract phytochemical screening is performed by various chemicals test as test for Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Tannins, Saponins, Glycosides etc. Followed by antimicrobial activity determined by preparing in combined ratios 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 of two plants Acalypha wilkesiana and Cordyline fructicosa by cup plate method against the test organisms Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli. Results obtained for combined antimicrobial activity as Ethanolic extracts shows maximum activity of 21mm at ratio 1:2 against Staphylococcus aureus and minimum activity of 15mm at ratio2:1against Bacillus subtilis. whereas aqueous extracts shows maximum activity of 20mm at ratio 1:2 against Escherichia coli and minimum activity of 15mm at ratio 2:1against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
