Extract of these three plants were used ti inhibit the growth of plant-pathogens. Disc diffusion method is applied to measure the anti-micribial activity against 3 types of bacteria and 5 types of fungi. Our data express, all three plants extract have great potential as antimicrobial compound against microorganism. Thus they can be used in the treatment of infectious disease caused by resistant microbes.
