Abstract
Dendrophthoe falcata linn. is reported to contain biologically active substances such as flavonoids, ß-sitosterol, ß-amirin, oleanolic acid, chlorophyll, steroids and terpenoids. The Present study was under taken to evaluate the antimicrobial and antifungal potential of extracts of this plant. The extracts of Dendrophthoe falcata linn. leaves, showed significant antimicrobial activity against Gram positive and Gram-negative test organisms.
