Long before the discovery of microbes, plants were well known for their healing potential against different diseases including infectious diseases. MDR (Multi Drug Resistant) bacteria are a source of major concern for clinicians as most primary antibiotics do not work against them. Due to this, there is a drastic increase in the number of infections caused by MDR strains which in turn leads to an increasing number of deaths due to lack of treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the anti-microbial properties of the extract of Phyllodium longipes, a lesser-known edible plant valued for its medicinal properties. However, its antimicrobial properties are largely unknown. In this study we explored its antimicrobial property against some pathogenic bacteria including MDR strains. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the ethanol extract of the plant was determined. This study shows that the plant extract is highly effective against Gram positive bacteria MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Gram negative bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella typhi, while it is mild to moderately effective against other pathogenic bacteria.
