antioxidant properties. Moreover there is lack of enough scientific
report to confirm the antioxidant properties and antimicrobial
activity of Ipomoea mauritiana plant. On the other hand Microbial
resistance has become an increasing global problem and there is a
need to find out novel potent antimi-crobial agents with alternative
modes of action as accessories to antibiotic therapy. Moreover,
scientific studies have found that bile acid and salts have
antimicrobial activity against intestinal microbes. [1] Therefore,
the current study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant
properties and antimicrobial activity of methanolic extract of
