Abstract	Sauropus androgynous is a multivitamin plant. It is commonly known as Star gooseberry which belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae. It is native to South East Asia. The whole plant is widely used in traditional and folkloric systems of medicine. In traditional systems of medicine the plant is reported to possess beneficial effects as an antioxidant, anti cancerous, antifungal and anti septic. The present investigation is aimed to carryout antibacterial activities of the methanol, ethanol and aqueous extracts of Sauropus androgynous leaves against some Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains. To evaluate antibacterial activity, the agar diffusion assay was performed. Streptomycin was used as a reference antibiotic and the results were compared with the activity of methanol, ethanol and aqueous extracts of Sauropus androgynous . Methanol extract showed more antibacterial activity than aqueous extract. Methanol extract has exhibited significant antibacterial activity against all the six bacterial strains, while the aqueous extract showed moderate activity against Salmonella typhimurium and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
