What is it about?
Explosion of resistance pathogenic microbes and side-effects of treatment drugs are consistently worrisome and leading to a corresponding increase in research activities at finding stable bioactive alternatives from a diversity of genetic resources. This paper reports the outcome of comparative investigation of indigenous popular ethnobotanicals' parts antimicrobial activity on common pathogenic bacteria and fungus.

Why is it important?
We noted a positive correlation between extractant, bioactivity and phytochemical assay. This is in further confirming the superiority of ethanol as tincture in herbal practice while uncovering the practically parts of screened plants with the weaker antimicrobial activity. The results obtained showed gradation antimicrobial activity along plant parts and species.
Perspectives
This work, though an undergrad student's project, attracted collaborators from biochemistry, microbiology, botany and food science and technology. We expect the paper to mediate preference of plants' part or species used in ethnomedicine while aiding in the selection of suitable candidate for pharmcological utility
