In the present researching we determined the in vitro antibacterial activity of aqueous extract of leaves and bark of Vismia angusta (pichirina) on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in concentrations of 200, 300 and 400 mg/mL. to determine the antibacterial activity we used the disk diffusion technical (Kirby - Bauer), test that can measure the in vitro susceptibility of pathogenic microorganisms, using gentamicin 10 μg. as positive control, and physiological serum 0.9% as negative control. Analyzing the results of the trials it was observed that the aqueous extract of bark of Vismia angusta in concentration of 400 mg/mL proved to be moderately active against Escherichia coli (57.68%) and against Staphylococcus aureus (59.60%); in concentration of 300 mg/mL it proved to be moderately active against Escherichia coli (53.54%) and a little active against Escherichia coli (48.45%) and against Staphylococcus aureus (43.47%). In respect to the aqueous extract of the leaves of Vismia angusta in concentrations of 400 mg/mL showed be a little active against Escherichia coli (45.45%) and against Staphylococcus aureus (43.47%) and in concentrations of 200 and 300 mg/mL it showed to be inactive on both evaluated strains. Also, a phytochemical was made, which revealed the presence of some compounds such as essential oils, tannins, flavonoids, saponins and quinones, who were found in greater quantity in the bark of the plant species Vismia angusta in comparison with the leaves of this plant.
