Abstract
Medicinal plants are the only green alternative to manmade drugs and gaining a lot of attention. The potential pharmacological actions are attributed to the presence of phytochemical constituents. Natural products from plants have always been a source for the treatment of many human diseases. Traditionally, people have been using these plant sources to treat many disor-ders and diseases. One such plant is <i>Gomphrena globosa</i> L. which has an abundance of phytochemicals and medicinal proper-ties., commonly called Globe amaranth belongs to the family Amaranthaceae. It has been in practice of traditional medicine systems years ago. This study was focused to screen the active phytochemicals and to identify the antimicrobial activity of <i>Gomphrena globosa</i> L. flower extract.
