Steam distillation, petroleum ether, and ethanol extracts from Hyptis suaveolens leaves were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity in vitro . Steam distillation extract exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activity against the tested organisms.

Activity indices of A. niger against miconazole (25 µg/ml) and M. luteus against chloramphenicol (10 µg/ml) were 0.89 and 0.67, respectively.
