Abstract
A preliminary microbiological screening was performed on five local Malaysian herbs which were claimed to possess certain medicinal values. These herbs were the pods of Abelmoxhue eeoulentue, the flowers of Hibieeue rosaeineneie,
the plants of Mimosa pudica, the leaves of Parkia javaniaa and the leaves of Pel.tophoxum ptierocarpum, Abelmoxhus
eecul.entue was the only herb that exhibited no antibacterial activity at the doses tested while the rest of
the four herbs showed promising results in their antibacterial activity by both ditch-plate and hole-plate
methods. Results from the bioassay of herbal extracts
and antibiotics (Potassium Penicillin V and Streptomycin
Sulphate) showed linear relationships in the dose response
curves, however, due to lack of parallelism between the
standards and extracts used, it indicated that the herbal
extracts might possess a different antibacterial mode of
action as that of the standard antibiotics.
