Abstract

We collected 20 medicinal plants and investigated their antibacterial effects. These plants were extracted using petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol solvents. Antibacterial activities were investigated by agar diffusion test and MIC determination. Results showed that methanol extracts of Melastoma affine and Excoecaria cochinchinensis Lour have good antibacterial effects against Gram positive as well as Gram negative bacteria.
