Assessment of Antimicrobial Activity of Selected Indigenous Flora in Peñablanca, Cagayan Against Clinically Isolated Pathogens

This study investigated the phytochemical constituents and in vitro antibacterial efficacy of crude ethanolic and aqueous leaf extracts of three indigenous plant species collected from the karst landscapes of Peñablanca against multi-drug resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Disc diffusion tests demonstrated significant zones of inhibition (p < 0.01) comparable to standard ciprofloxacin controls.
