The preliminary of Phytochemical screening of methanol and ethanol extracts for both the stem-bark and leaves of Ficus sycomorous revealed the presence of flavonoids, glycosides, reducing sugar, resins, tannins and saponins. The result of anti-microbial activity indicates that ethanol and methanol extracts of both stem-bark and leaves show a remarkable activity on gram positive bacteria of Staphylococcus aureus more than the gram negative bacteria of Salmonella typhi. Also the extraction shows that the stem bark and leaves extract of ethanol yield 29·86% and 40.07% respectively in ethanol compared to methanol extract which yield 13.93% and 14.72% for the stem bark and leaves extract respectively.
