Now a days, a major concern was to control the spread of the infection within communities was to understand the epidemiological factors of infection association between human and animal sources. The major risk factors of pathogen harbor from pigeons was risk to the human population because of widely distributed in most of the place. In this present study, we screened Salmonella sp. from pigeons by standard microbiological tests and also check the antimicrobial activity by using Piper nigrum leaf extract. Three different P. nigrum extracts like Methanolic, ethanolic and aqueous extracts were prepared, and it was found that the methanolic extract showed excellent antibacterial effect against Salmonella than the other extracts.
