The current study is focused to explore the economic importance of selected medicinal plants of Khyber agency, Pakistan. A total of 58 medicinal plants species was collected, out of which 47 species were economically used and 5 medicinal species were checked for their antibacterial activity. The results of antibacterial activity revealed that these plants have good antibacterial potential which needs further phytochemically, biological and pharmaceutical investigations.
