Evaluation of antimicrobial activity exploration of the leaves extracts of Borreria articularis (Linn. F.)

In this study the plant of Borreria articularies (Linn. F) (family Rubiaceae) were subjected for phytochemical, antibacterial and antifungal evaluations. The sample powder was subjected to cold maceration by ethanol and methanol for 48 h at room temperature, concentrated by using a rotary vacuum...
