ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts of different parts of Ixora species.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Antimicrobial activity was carried out using disc diffusion assay against fungi, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>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.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>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.</p>
