 Five Chungtia plants, namely "Albizia lucidior", "Begonia picta", "Cassia floribunda", "Holboellia latifolia", and "Maesa indica" have no prior studies on their antimicrobial properties, while only fruit of "Prunus persica" have been previously studied for antimicrobial activity, with no reports on the roots used by the Chungtia villagers.These six plants were therefore selected for antimicrobial studies.While all the tested plant extracts showed activity against at least two microorganisms in the MTT microdilution assay, only the "P. persica" extract was active when tested using the disc diffusion method.
