- Abstract
The medicinal properties of plants could be based on their pharmacological effects of the phytochemicals present in them. Hence plant derived antimicrobial properties have received considerable attention in recent years. In the present study, an attempt has been made to screen the antimicrobial potential of Andrographis alata (entire plant), against diseases causing bacterial and fungal pathogens. The results revealed that the methanol extract had an effective antimicrobial activity against all the tested microorganisms and the hexane extract had low antimicrobial activity. Further studies should be carried out to evaluate the other biological active potentials of Andrographis alata.
