Antibacterial effects screening of plant extracts is strategic, to discover new species of plants with pharmacological activity, which can be used to develop new antibacterials or to potentiate the action of already clinically known antibacterials, in an attempt to combat to antibacterials resistant infections. In this study, we performed a qualitative analysis of Lantana camara L. leaves compounds and its antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococus aureus. Extract were obtained by leaves maceration with 90% ethanol. Qualitative phytochemical analysis was performed using specific reagents for each class of secondary metabolites. Antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococus aureus was evaluated using disc diffusion method according to Kirby-Bauer. The classes of Alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and sa..
