چکیده
The antibacterial activity of the ethanolic and methanolic extracts from the mossEntodon nepalensis Mizush. was evaluated against three bacterial species. The antibacterial activity was assessed by well diffusion method. The ethanolic extract of plant showed a stronger effect than the methanolic extract. The maximum antagonistic effect showed against tested Escherichia coli followed by Salmonella typhimurium and least against Bacillus subtilis. [Afroz Alam, Vinay Sharma, S. C.
