A preliminary study on antimicrobial activity of Imperata cylindrica

Antimicrobial properties of the methanol, chloroform or polybutylene succinate (PBS) extracts of leaves and rhizome from Imperata cylindrica were investigated against five clinical isolates of bacteria, namely Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Can...
