Abstract: The present study was designated to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of ethanolic extract of Barleria longiflora L.f. The antimicrobial activities of the extract against 6 strains belong to bacterial and fungi species were tested by using Disc diffusion method. The results showed that ethanolic extract of Barleria longiflora L.f had moderately significant antibacterial and significant antifungal activity. It inhibited the growth of both bacterial and fungal species dose dependently. The inhibition of growth was highest at 100mg/ml as compared to the controls. Ethanolic extract showed stronger antimicrobial activity against the fungi than that of the bacteria’s. Thus we can conclude that Barleria longiflora L.f was a potent antimicrobial agent which can be tried as a novel anti-fungal agent.
