ABSTRACT
The antibacterial activity of Moringa oleifera and Aegle marmelos ethyl acetate leaf extracts against medically important pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Enterobacter soli was determined in vitro using the agar-well diffusion method with different concentrations (30μl, 50μl, 75μl, 100μl) and minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum The ethyl acetate extract of Aegle marmalos was found to be more effective against selected pathogens than the ethyl acetate leaf extract of Moringa oleifera, according to the findings. As a result, leaf extracts from these plants can be chosen for further research to see if they have therapeutic
potential.
Keywords: Moringa oleifera, Aegle marmelos, Agar-well diffusion method, Antibacterial activity, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration, Minimum Bactericidal Concentration.
