Abstract
Antibiotic resistance bacteria are one of the major problems challenging the health care system in general.

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.
