Abstract
The study revealed that M. barteri had the broadest spectrum of activity, with activity against C. neoformans, P. aeruginosa, vancomycin resistant Enterococci faecalis (VRE) and T. brucei. M. barteri could be exploited for broad spectrum antimicrobial and antitrypanosomal activity, while Eleusine indica could be subjected to bioassay guided fractionation and isolation of antitrypanosomal constituents. This study suggests that the evaluated plants are potential sources of novel anti-infective agents.
