Natural plant products have been important for the development of new active molecules for drug development since the ancient times. This is particularly due to the presence of secondary metabolites in plants, which are known for their antimicrobial activity. Thus, this study focused on investigating the antimicrobial activity of Erythrina abyssinica against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus. Erythrina abyssinica is a medicinal plant which has been used traditionally for the treatment of various infections, snakebites and some sexually transmitted diseases.

The extracts were tested for their antimicrobial activity using the agar d.. View more»
