Abstract Antibacterial activity of aqueous extract of leaves of Anisomeles malabarica (L.)Sims were tested against six soil borne bacteria. B.subtilis and S. aureus recorded a maximum inhibition of 30.0mm at 50 μl concentration followed by P. fluorescens which was recorded 28.0mm inhibition, E. tracheiphila recorded 24.0mm, E. coli recorded 23.0mm and X. campestris recorded 22.0mm inhibition at 50 μl concentration. Moderate activity was observed in 20 and 30 μl concentration in all the test bacterial species. Compared to synthetic antibiotics Gentamicin and Tetracycline, highly significant activity was observed in B.subtilis, S. aureus and P. fluorescens.
