The antibacterial test performed on Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA) media. Test result indicate the leaves extract of tobacco showed positive result in Aeromonas hyrdophilla. Tobacco extract can inhibit Aeromonas hyrdophilla growth and a clear zone are found, in case of E. coli it showed negative result in both the cases.
