Abstract: Traditional medicine is an important source of potentially useful compounds for the development of phytotherapetic agent. Antimicrobials of plant origin have enormous therapeutic potential in the treatment of infectious diseases while simultaneously migitigiting many of the side effects that are often associated with synthetic antimicrobials. In the present investigation suggested that the effect of antimicrobial activity of Phyllanthus reticulatus against clinical microbes were performed. In the experiments of the test plant Phyllanthus reticulatus leaf and flower extract with different solvent of aqueous, ethanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether were treated against the bacteria like E. coli, Enterococcus sp., K. pnemoniae, Staph. aureus, Salmonella sp., Vibrio cholera, and Proteus sp. and fungi such as Aspergillus flavus, A. niger. A. terreus, Penicillium sp., P. chrysogenum, Rhizoctonia solani, and Trichoderma sp. were performed respectively. However the antimicrobial properties of Phyllanthus reticulatus leaf with methanolic and ethyl acetate extract of maximum zone inhibition and excellent performance when compared to other solvent of aqueous and petroleum ether extract. It can be concluded that the plant used to discover natural products that may serve as lead for the development of new biomedical applications.
