RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The methanolic extract of Trianthema decandra
showed significant all the bacteria tested (Table

activity may be due to the presence of alkaloids,
flavanoids, tannins, polyphenoilcs and oil.5,6
Theses results suggest the presence of either
good antibacterial potency or of the high
concentration of an active principle in the
extract. The high degree of antibacterial activity
seems to confirm the folk therapy of infections
