Abstract Aim : The present study was commenced to investigate the methanolic extracts of Launaea sarmentosa (Willd .) and Bruguiera cylindrical (L .) for antibacterial properties . Launaea sarmentosa (Willd .) is a plant of Asteraceae family while Bruguiera cylindrical (L .) belongs to the family of Rhizophoraceae . Materials and Method : The study was performed by disc diffusion method . Results : Crude methanolic extracts of both Launaea sarmentosa (Willd .) and Bruguiera cylindrical (L .) at various concentration were used for antibacterial screening . The methanolic extracts of Launaea sarmentosa (Willd .) produced good antibacterial activities against gram negative (- ve) bacteria and were resistant against gram positive (+ve) bacteria whereas crude methanolic extracts of Bruguiera cylindrical (L .) were resistant against both gram positive (+ve) and gram negative (- ve) bacteria . Conclusion : Further work especially bioassay - guided fractionation may be avouched in order to isolate and characterize the antibacterial active constituents responsible for the antibacterial property .
