Abstract
Antibiotic resistance bacteria are one of the major problems challenging the health care system in general. The Antibacterial activity of fresh (Onion) Allium Cepa and (Ginger) Zingiber officinale juices against multidrug resistance bacteria viz., Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus Subtillis was investigated using agar well diffusion method. This study indicates that the fresh juices of Allium Cepa and Zingiber officinale possess significant antibacterial potency against multidrug resistant bacteria. The antibacterial activity and medicinal properties of Ginger and Onion extracts were studied. Ginger extracts were obtained using solvents Alcohol and Water. The extracts were assayed for antibacterial activity and bacterial growth inhibition activity. The results showed that both the extracts the aqueous and alcoholic extracts have antibacterial activity and they also inhibit bacterial growth. The results also showed that Ginger extract possess antibacterial properties and could be used for the treatment of bacterial infections.
