Non healing diabetic ulcer causes an increasing burden to healthcare and also antibiotic resistance to bacteria is noted. Nimba Patra is described as Krimighna in Ayurveda and researches show its antimicrobial effects against microorganisms.Therefore, Present study was planned to evaluate and compare sensitivity of alcoholic extract of Nimba Patra and aqueous extract of Nimba Patra on Staphylococcus aureus from pus of non healing diabetic ulcer (Dushta Vrana) patient by culture and sensitivity in vitro. On comparing the mean values of zone of inhibition observed against different concentrations of alcoholic and aqueous extracts of Nimba Patra, the mean value of zone of inhibition of alcoholic extract of Nimba Patra (in mm) was higher than that of aqueous extract of Nimba Patra which is statistically highly significant. Therefore it is concluded that alcoholic extract of Nimba Patra has better antimicrobial action than aqueous extract of Nimba Patra against Staphylococcus aureus derived from pus of Dushta Vrana (non healing diabetic ulcer) patient.
