Over the past few decades, curing of diseases are under threat as many medicines and drugs produce toxic reactions. Nowadays 61% of new drugs has been developed using natural phytochemicals in curing many diseases. Present investigation is an attempt to assess the antimicrobial activity of Pergularia daemia and to evaluate the potential against antibiotics. In the present study, P.daemia proved to have efficient phytochemicals which created distinct zone of inhibition against bacterial strains.
