Abstract: Antimicrobial effects of flavonoid extracts of Sinaraundinaria nitida leaves were investigated. The extracts of S.n itida leaves exhibited variable degrees of inhibitory effects against Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Aspergillus niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli which were all harmful to sanitation and safety of food. Clinical medicine and biomaterials. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extract, calculated to be rutin concentration, for each sensitive strain is respectively determined as 7.50, 7.50, 7.50, 7.50 and 15.00mg/100ml.
