The results of this study showed that ethanolic extracts of Ficus were showed against E. coli, S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, While Aquatic extract showed synergistic effect with some antibiotics better than organic solvent. The results of this study showed that there is a decrease in MIC in case of methanolic extract of F. sycomorus extracts against selected bacteria.
