antibacterial activity of the extract plants S. palustris. Antibacterial activity was
determined using the agar diffusion technique. The extracts of S. palustris were
used at a concentration of 30 μg, the antibiotic amoxsan® was used as a positive
control, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as a negative control. The results
indicated that the extracts depicted various activities antibacterial Escherichia coli
