ABSTRACT
The Antibacterial Activity of methanolic extract of Mitragynaparvifolia(Roxb) korth was investigated against some human pathogenic microorganisms (staphylococcus aureusand E.coli).The tested extracts showed very strong antibacterial activity against all organisms. The antibacterial activity was evaluated by measuring the zone of inhibition using cup plate method. The strongest inhibition activity of the leaves of methanolic extract was observed against staphylococcus aureusand E.coli. This study also investigated the role of environmental factors on the antimicrobial activity of this plant.
