The extracts for phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity were carried out on dried fresh leaves, Eucalyptus globulus using water as solvent. The results of the phytochemical screening showed that the plant parts contained saponins, tannins, phenols and glycosides. The disc diffusion method was adopted for the antimicrobial activity of the plant extracts. The antimicrobial activity test of the plant extracts on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Bacillus subtilis showed that water extracts had inhibitory activity on all the tested organisms. The results obtained from this study revealed that extracts of Eucalyptus globules possess antimicrobial activities against some microorganism that causes diseases.
