Wrightia arborea (Dennst.) Mabb. leaf extracts were tested for their in vitro antibacterial activity by cup plate method, against three Gram positive bacteria, viz. Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis and two Gram negative bacteria viz. Echerichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. By using different types of individual extracts like aqueous, 70% ethanol, methanol and successively in increasing order of polarity with petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and chloroform extracts.
