The present study deals with the synergistic antibacterial activity of Cynodon dactylon and Murraya koenigii. Combined concentration of the drugs extracts was tested against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis by agar well diffusion technique. The results of antibacterial activity revealed that the aq. extracts of Cynodon dactylon exhibited maximum to moderate inhibitory activity against all test pathogens. Maximum antibacterial activity by aqueous extract of Cynodon dactylon were exhibited against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus followed by Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa whereas aqueous extract of Murraya koenigii showed moderate sensitivity on all pathogens. Combined concentration of both drugs showed good antibacterial activity against all four pathogens.
