Microbial drug resistance is a growing health problem. This has led to search for new antimicrobial compound and plants are considered as one of the most promising sources for new antimicrobials discovery. Pyrenacantha grandiflora (P. grandiflora) Baill is used for the treatment and management of diarrhea, gastrointestinal related infections, dysentery, inflammation and tooth pain by traditional healers in the Venda region. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of P. grandiflora tubers using different extraction solvents against 15 bacterial and 11 fungal strains.
