This research aims to find out the antimicrobial activities of the
extracts of wild and cultivated varieties of Olive plants were screened for their antimicrobial activities against nine
bacterial strains (six gram-positive, three gram
compared to determine which variety is more affective against human pathogens. The obtained results of measurement
of ZOI from the disc diffusion method specified that the methanolic extract exhibited strong inhibitory ac

the antimicrobial activity and its potential use in the treatment of microbial

its antibiotic standard, Ciprofloxacin. Antimicrobial activities of different plant extracts obtained were seemed to be too
different in the sense of efficiency as some of the bacterial strains are found to extra resistance and others are having
more susceptibility towards the plant crude extracts as compared to their respective antibiotics used in this study. All the
bacterial strains showed fewer susceptibilities to both plant extracts as compared to standard antibiotics used which
shows that both the standard antibiotics a
