Popis: The active components of stem bark of Tinospora cordifolia were extracted using cold water and organic solvents (methanol, diethyl ether and acetone) and were tested against Staphylococcus aureus using the agar disc diffusion method. All the four extracts inhibited the growth of S. aureus, with methanol extract exerting the highest activity whereas water extract was least active. The results were compared with the reference antibiotic ciprofloxacin
