In this study, antibacterial activity of ethyl acetate extracts of Agaricusbisporus fruiting bodies and ethyl acetate extracts of Albizzia lebbeck leaves wereexamined in-vitro with (2) two pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli and Proteus)and yeast (Candida albicanus), following agar well diffusion method usingdifferent concentrations (25, 50, and 100μl). The extracts of Agaricus bisporus andAlbizzia lebbeck were showed potent antimicrobial activity against tested bacteriaand yeast. Agaricus bisporus fruiting bodies extract was showed the highestinhibitory effect versus growth of bacteria and yeast were tested in this study. TheE. coli and Proteus were found to show large sensitivity to the extracts of Agaricusbisporus with 12 and 13mm inhibition zones respectively at 25 μl concentrationwhile Candida albicanus was more resistant to this extract with inhibition zone of9mm at 25 μl concentration. In the same time the inhibition zone of Albizzialebbeck against E coli, Proteus and Candida albicanus were 12, 10.8, 6mmrespectively at 25 μl concentration.
