   • According to Gupta A.V.N (2011)

     Excerpt The present study was carried out to evaluate the anti-microbial properties of Antigonon leptopus against certain microbial strains causing dental carries (Micrococcus albus, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris & Pseudomonas aerogenosa.) using disc diffusion method. Both the flower extracts exhibited significant inhibition against these dental pathogens.
