Objective: To evaluate the antimicrobial and anthelmintic activity of alcoholic extracts of Gloriosa superba tubers. Material and Methods: The alcoholic hot continuous extraction method (HCEM) & cold maceration extraction method (CMEM) extracts of G. superba tubers was investigated for its antimicrobial activity against E. coil, P. auruginosa, S. aureus, K. oxytoca, B. subtilis, C. albicans by agar well technique and anthelmintic activity against earthworm Eisonia fatida (African type). Results: A significant antimicrobial activity was observed against gram negative bacteria than gram positive bacteria and C. albicans a fungal strain. It also showed good anthelmintic activity against earthworm Eisonia fatida. Conclusion: This study indicates that G. superba tubers extracts have significant antimicrobial and anthelmintic activity. Hot continuous extract give better results than cold extract.
