An acetone extract from the moss Rhynchostegium riparioides was tested against 11 bacterial strains, some of which are pathogenic. The extract was active on some Gram‐negative strains. The antibacterial activity of the extract, expressed as MICs, was compared with three reference antibiotics. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
