Abstract
The most commonly used plants namely Malva neglecta and Nasturtium microphyllum were brought under study after observing their medicinal values. In this research it was aimed to investigate the antimicrobial activity of Malva neglecta and Nasturtium microphyllum. The different fractions of these two plants were obtained by using different organic solvents and these were subjected to antibacterial and antifungal activity. Bacterial strains, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella typhi and Bacillus subtilis were used for the antibacterial activity while the fungal strains, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium solani were used for antifungal activity in this research. As both of the plants showed best activity against most of the bacterial and fungal strains, therefore these plants can be used to treat different microbial diseases and infections.
