English. In the present study, we evaluated the antibacterial activity in the leaf extracts of Mentha piperita L. against pathogenic bacteria like Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aureus, Pseudomonas aerogenosa, Serratia marcesens and Streptococcus aureus. The aqueous as well as organic extracts of the leaves were found to posses strong antibacterial activity against a range of pathogenic bacteria as revealed by in vitro agar well diffusion method. The ethyl acetate leaf extract of Mentha piperita showed pronounced inhibition than chloroform, petroleum ether and water, leaf extracts being more on Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aerogenosa than Streptococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aureus and Serratia marcesens.

Ocenjena je bila antibakterijska aktivnost listnega ekstrakta poprove mete (Mentha piperita L.) na patogene bakterije Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aureus, Pseudomonas aerogenosa, Serratia marcesens in Streptococcus aureus. Tako vodni ekstrakti, kot ekstrakti dobljeni z organskimi topili so imeli močan protibakterijski učinek proti vrsti patogenih bakterij v agarju po in vitro metodi. Listni ekstrakt poprove mete, dobljen z etilnim actetatom je imel bolj izrazit učinek kot ekstrakti dobljeni s kloroformom, etrom ali vodo, bolje so učinkovali na Bacillus subtilis in Pseudomonas aerogenosa kot na Streptococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aureus inSerratia marcesens.
