Herbal plants are traditionally used for the treatment of human gall bladder infections. The present study was undertaken to investigate activity of herbal extracts against human gall bladder bacterial pathogens. Extracts were prepared in methanol. The activity of plant extract was evaluated against five bacterial pathogens including E. coli, Salmonella sp, Klebsiella, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus (test bacteria) using agar diffusion method. Most of the herbal plant extracts are less effective against gram positive bacteria specially Streptococcus sp. More resistance power is shown by Salmonella sp. against almost of the plant extracts. Most of the plant extract shows highest activity against E. coli and Klebsiella sp. The results from the study suggest that the herbal extract show antibacterial activity against different bacterial sp. They could be used alternatives to common antimicrobial agents for treatment of gall bladder infections.
