Wound healing is seldom delayed due to presence of polymicrobial community, acquired either during the wounding or during the hospital stay. The onset of inflammatory phase is manifested to a great extent and the resolution of the same extended beyond desirable time which eventually results in retarded proliferation, reepithelialisation and remodelling phases that complete the healing process. Such mixed microbial population has to be abolished to facilitate the healing process. Vernonia arborea is a tree species of Asteraceae family; the leaves being used for healing deep wounds traditionally. With lack of experimental evidences to support, the present study aims at identifying the antimicrobial potency of the leaf fractions against selected wo... view moreĀ»
