In the present investigation the antibacterial activity of leaves of the medicinal plant Azima tetracantha was studied. The leaf extract of test plant against the clinical pathogens were performed by agar well diffusion method. Azima tetracantha showed highest antibacterial activity on different concentration of ethanol when compared to methanol and water extracts. The maximum zone of inhibition was observed in Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus cereus ranges from 9-17 mm in all concentration of extracts, but the positive results ranges from 22-37mm in all types of clinical pathogen.
