Traditional plants are a valuable source of novel antibacterials and urine decrystallization agents that are associated with prevention and control of urolithiasis. Urine decrystallization and <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">in vitro</em> antibacterial activity of seventeen plant extracts were assessed. <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In vitro</em> preparation of synthetic struvite and changes in the final weight of the stone were also determined after treatment with different ethanol extracts of the plants. Aqueous extracts of dried plant samples were used to determine their capacity to control crystallization of urine. Antibacterial susceptibilities were also determined by standard filter-disc diffusion technique. Two known antibiotics were used as positive control. Out of the seventeen plants analysed, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cissus adnata</em> Roxb., <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cuminum cyminum</em> L., <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Eupatorium birmanicum </em>DC., <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hibiscus sabdariffa</em> L., <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Oxalis corniculata</em> L., <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Piper longum </em>L. and<em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Tamarindus indica</em> L. significantly prevented crystal formation in urine and exhibited strong antibacterial activity against four urolithiasis inducing flora. Ethanol extracts of <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">H. sabdariffa</em> L., <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">T. indica</em> L. and <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">P. longum </em>L. showed comparatively the highest efficacies in dissolving the stone. Thus, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C. adnata</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">C. cyminum</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">E. birmanicum</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">H. sabdariffa</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">O. corniculata</em>, <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">P. longum </em>and <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">T. indica</em> showed promising role in prevention and control of urolithiasis.</span></p> ER -
