Present study was aimed to investigate the antimicrobial properties of Solanum villosum. Flowers, seeds, berries and fresh leaves were collected for aforesaid activity. Agar disc diffusion and agar tube dilution methods were used for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities, respectively. Anti-bacterial activity for both extracts (methanol and chloroform) was about 75% against some of the bacterial strains. Anti-fungal activity was observed above 50% for both crude extracts.
