Abstract: With Ralstonia solanacearum as a test strain, antibacterial activities of extracts from 31 species of Yao medicinal plants were screened by double dilution method, and the minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs) of the extracts with high inhibitory activity against Ralstonia solanacearum, Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus were determined. The results showed that extracts from 18 species of Yao medicinal plants showed significant antibacterial activity at the concentration of 500 mg·L-1. Further test showed that the extracts from three species of the Yao medicinal plants, such as Cudrania cochin, Calophyllum membranaceum and Dryopteris setosa, had significant bacteriostatic activity against R.solanacearum at the concentration of 100 μg/mL. The MICs for these three species were 25 mg·L-1, 25 mg·L-1 and 25 mg·L-1, respectively, against R.solanacearum, 12.5 mg·L-1, 50 mg·L-1, respectively, against Bacillus cereus, and 50 mg·L-1, 25 mg·L-1, and 50 mg·L-1, respectively against Staphylococcus aureus.
