Houttuynia cordata is a perennial herb from the family Saururaceae that is used in traditional Chinese phytotherapy as an anti-inflammatory, detoxicant, antipyretic and diuretic agent. The antibacterial activity of fresh plant material against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was measured by optical density. Minimum inhibitory concentration at 50 % inhibition level (MIC50) was 9.8 % w/v and level of inhibition at concentration 10 % (w/v) of tested plant material was 50.8 %.
