Online published on 26 March, 2024. Abstract The leaves of Tinospora cordifolia exhibited potential to inhibit various drug-resistant microorganisms responsible for various infections. In this study, diverse solvent extracts including Acetone, Ethanol, Methanol and aqueous were obtained from Tinospora cordifolia leaves and were subjected for testing against drug-resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using disc diffusion method. The results of this investigation revealed that the extracts exhibited antimicrobial activity against all tested microbes. The Methanol extract was found to be superior in inhibiting all test organisms.
