| contents | <p><span lang="EN-US">The rise of multidrug-resistant microbial pathogens has renewed interest in medicinal plants as a source of natural antimicrobial agents. <em>Xanthium strumarium</em> L., a widely used ethnomedicinal plant, is known for its diverse bioactive phytochemicals. This study investigates the phytochemical composition and antimicrobial potential of <em>X. strumarium</em> L. using ultrasonication-assisted extraction (UAE) to enhance bioactive compound recovery. Qualitative and quantitative analyses revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, saponins, and glycosides, with ethanolic extracts showing the highest concentrations. Antimicrobial assays against <em>Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis</em>, and <em>Candida albicans</em> demonstrated significant inhibitory activity, correlating strongly with flavonoid and phenolic content. The results validate the traditional medicinal uses of <em>X. strumarium</em> L. and highlight its phytochemicals as effective natural antimicrobial agents.</span></p> |
