ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts of different parts of Ixora species.Methods:
Antimicrobial activity was carried out using disc diffusion assay against fungi, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.Results:
All methanolic extracts of different parts of Ixora species showed a broad-spectrum of antibacterial and antiyeast activities, which inhibited the growth of at least one bacterium or yeast. There was no remarkable difference between different Ixora species observed in this study.Conclusions:
The significant antimicrobial activity shown by this Ixora species suggests its potential against infections caused by pathogens. The extract may be developed as an antimicrobial agent.
