Antibacterial activity of dioscorea hispida collected around UMK Campus Jeli

The purpose of this study was to observe the antibacterial activity of the tuber of D. hispida against two gram- positive bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis) and two gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Shigella boydii). The tuber extracts of D. hispida were prepared by using me...
