The study revealed that the physico chemical analysis sh owed variation between the seasons.Among the animal pathogen V.parahaemolyticus showed maximum zone of inhibition (12+2) and was followed by V.harveyi (10+2). Among the human pathogen tested Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed maximum zone of inhibition (8.33+1.5 2)and was follwed by St.mutants( 6.66+2.51). Thus the study revealed that the among the pathogens tested,the alcoholic extract s howed the maximum zone of inh
