Bioassay-Guided Phytochemical Analyses and Antimicrobial Potentials of the Leaf Extract of Clematis hirsuta Perr. and Guill. Against Some Pathogenic Bacteria and Fungi.

The acetone extract showed better antimicrobial activity and the least minimum inhibition concentrations against bacteria compared to fungi. The observed antibacterial can be assigned to the presence of alkoxy amine, alkyl aliphatic acids, and cycloalkane. The overall findings substantiate the traditional usages of the parts of this plant, especially the leaves, in managing infectious diseases.
