چکیده
Aginanthus brunneus is a specie of Africa mistletoe and is hemiparasitic in nature growing on many trees. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of carbohydrates, Alkaloids, Tannins and flavonoids. The ethanolic and aqueous extracts inhibited growth of Klesiella aerogenes, Proteus spp Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Gentamycin and Cloxacillin did not exhibit any activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
