ABSTRACT Antibacterial activity of medicnal plants has turned out to be a global concern. Medicnal plants are very useful in treating various diseases. Antibiotics are an important class of pharmacological agents used for treating antibacterial infections. Although antibiotics were first isolated from fungi and bacteria but over the years more and more synthetic antibiotics has been synthesized‚ which are in great demand. This present study has been done to determine the antibacterial activity of

In one of the studies‚ the effect of cinnamon was studied against numerous organisms such as fungus like Aspergillus flavus‚ yeast species such as Candida lipolytica‚ Mucor plumbeus and Staphylococcus aureus. Its combination along with clove oil has been impressive and effective against A. flavus. The cinnamon oil has antimicrobial action in the range 10-150 μg ml − 1. Another intriguing fact about
