The present study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of the petroleum ether, methanol and aqueous\nextracts from the stem, leaf, fruit of Aegle marmelos (Linn.). Extracts were studied using agar well diffusion methods against\nstandard bacterial strains of Salmonella abony, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas auregenosa and Eschirichia coli. Petroleum\nether extract was found to be more active than methanolic and aqueous extracts against Salmonella abony. Aqueous extract was\nfound more active than the other two against S. aureus, P. auregensa and E. coli. It reveals that the water soluble components of\nthe plant are highly active against the above mentioned microorganism.
