Use of antibiotics to treat various diseases is usually a traditional method which is used since many years against numerous pathogens in the form of broad spectrum and narrow spectrum antibiotics. But now the major problem which is posed in the society is the bacterial resistance against many antibiotics so medicinal plants can be used as an alternative means of therapy to combat bacterial infections. Flowers of A. vasica plant was screened for its medicinal property. The antibacterial activity was analysed by preparing its extract in different solvents of increasing polarity like ethyl acetate (S1), methanol (S2) and aqueous (S3). Gentamicin is used as control against gram positive and gram negative bacteria (S. aureus, B. subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, E. coli) known to cause Food borne infections. Different extracts of flowers of A.vasica exhibited a varied degree of inhibition against selected human pathogens. The highest degree of inhibition was observed in ethyl acetate (S1) as 10mm, methanol (S2) extract as 13mm and aqueous (S3) extract as 17mm. The phytochemical analysis was also done to support the data generated by antimicrobial activity. Results of phytochemical analysis showed the presence of Phenolics, Saponins, Flavonoids, Ascorbic acid, Tannins and Alkaloids
