Phytochemical Screening for Antibacterial Activity of Potential Malaysian Medicinal Plants

Plants have been identified for its valuable properties from traditional medicine since thousands of years ago. The huge diversity of the Malaysian flora that has chemical diversity is one of the vital factors that make natural products outstanding candidates for any screening practice. In this rese...
