The present study was designed to screen the antimicrobial activity of Murraya koenigii Linn. The coarse material of Murraya koenigii was extracted with alcohol, benzene, acetone, chloroform using Soxhlet and macerated to form water extract. All the extracts were screened for its antibacterial activity using agar well diffusion method. The microoraganisms used for antibacterial activity were E. coli, S. abony, P. aeruginosa.The results revealed that the extracts of Murraya koenigii ischolar_mains are effective against E. coli, S. abony, P. aeruginosa.
