The antimicrobial activity of crude ethanolic extracts of 10 medicinal plants used in traditional Chinese medicine was tested against five species of microorganisms: Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans. Of the 10 plants tested, 5 showed antimicrobial activity against one or more species of microorganisms. The most active antimicrobial plants were Chelidonium majus, Sanguisorba officinalis, and Tussilago farfara.
