Abstract: Traditionally, medicinal herbs have been used to treat a wide range of infections. Also, bioactive chemicals with an appropriate therapeutic index have been isolated from medical plants to create novel medications. The objective of this research is to investigate the existence of antibacterial activity in crude extracts of Euphorbia Nivulia (EN) using standard inhibitory zone diameter and phytochemical screening. The leaves were used in this preliminary inquiry, and the crude extracts were screened using the standard Disc Diffusion Method (DDM) methodology against two strains of the bacteria species K. pneumonia MTCC 39 and S. pneumonia MTCC 39. The antibacterial activity is evaluated based on the presence or absence of inhibition zones and MIC values. The results evaluated the mean outcomes of the zone of inhibition and the antibacterial susceptibility along with the standard deviation. The herbal extract EN found to be more effective against K. pneumonia MTCC 39 and S. pneumonia MTCC 39 along the lines of antibacterial susceptibility. The results of this study serve as a foundation for future research on the antibacterial qualities of extracts from local medicinal plants.
