The aqueous and ethanolic leaf extracts of Sida acuta were evaluated for the antibacterial activity. Klebsiella pneumoniae was inhibited by both extracts while Pseudomonas aeruginosa by aqueous extract only. Other bacteria E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium did not show any sensitivity to either of the extracts. Ethanolic extract proved to be better than the other in inhibiting the bacterial growth.
