The prepared compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomanas aeruginosa and Klebsiella sp. by broth dilution method. Schiff bases and its derivatives as well as Ciprofloxacin as positive control were diluted upto 1.5mg/ml. These compounds exhibited bactericidal activities against Escherichia coli (22.04% - 99.48%), Pseudomanas aeruginosa (21.25% - 99.51%), Staphylococcus aureus (22.67% - 99.38%) and Klebsiella sp. (20.46% - 99.35%). Bis((E)-2-((phenylimino)methyl)phenol)zinc(II) (AS-64) showed better antibiotic potential (>99%) against four pathogens E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and Klebsiella.sp. Bis((Z)-2-(((4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2- yl)imino)methyl)phenol)copper(II) (MS-69) exhibited better bactericidal activity (>99%) against three pathogens E. coli, S. aureus and Klebsiella sp. while compound showed moderate activity (<50%) against P. aeruginosa, Contrary, Bis((E)-2- ((phenylimino)methyl)phenol)plumb(II) (AS-63) performed poor bactericidal activity (<30%) against three pathogens E. coli, P. aeruginosa and Klebsiella sp. , whereas best activity (>99%) was observed against S. aureus. The testing compounds will be considered as a promising and potential antibacterial agent, to be used as better drug candidate in the future.
