摘要
The hexane and methanol extracts of sixteen plants of the family Caesalpiniaceae, collected around Karachi, Pakistan, were phytochemically screened and tested for their antibacterial and antimicrobial activity. As compared to hexane extracts, the methanol extracts of all the examined plants showed stronger growth inhibitions against both bacteria and fungi, Cassia species being the biologically more active plants.
