        abstract = {In the present study the methanol and chloroform leaf extracts of Sida acuta, Sida spinosa and Sida cordifolia were screened for the presence of phytochemical components and tested for antibacterial activity against Bacillus, Streptococcus and Escherichia coli. Plant extracts were obtained using methanol and chloroform through Soxhlet extraction. Solubility tests, qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis were conducted. Result revealed the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, phenols, saponins, tannins, steroids, carbohydrates and proteins. The study indicated that the phytochemical constituents of three species of Sida are different. It was concluded that Sida plants have a significant antimicrobial activity and highlighting their potential for developing natural antimicrobial agents.},
