Abstract
Background: The use of herbal medicine is increasing with the increase in the development of drug resistance among the bacterial population. Herbal medicines are safe with no side effects and have significant action against bacteria and other microorganisms. Study the antimicrobial activity of the ethanolic extract of Cyperus rotundus and Operculina turpethum on select human pathogens such as Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Materials and Methods: Bacterial strains used are multidrug-resistant of E. faecalis, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa that are obtained from the Department of Microbiology, Saveetha Dental College and maintained in nutrient agar slope at 4°C. Moreover, extracts ate taken from plant leaf powder. Results: The investigation of antibacterial activity of ayurvedic preparations on E. faecalis, S. aureus, and P. aeruginosa was done by agar well diffusion method. Mean zones of inhibition of different concentrations were measured and compared with the control. Conclusion: Based on the results recorded in the present findings, in it concluded that Unani system of medicine has a potential antimicrobial agent on human pathogenic microorganisms and hence the herbal drug may serve as one of the potential antimicrobial agents. Further studies on isolation of active principles from the plant are needed.
