The Golden Era of microbiology is marked with the discover of almost all the antibiotics which helped in treating several diseases. But due to development of bacterial resistance against susceptible antibiotics, development of new antibiotics is in race in present day scientific and research field. Holding the truth (some consider as truth) that history would repeat after reaching a peak point in the development over time, many researchers are looking back at the history of how humans combated against undiscoverable (at that time) pathogens. In this context, the use of Phyto chemicals (plant extracts) & other naturally occurring resources as antibiotics in the history, gave a different view point in developing new antibiotics. Several plant extracts are already proven as potent bactericidal & bacteriostatic agents against certain bacterial species. Use of several other Phyto chemicals & natural products as potent antibacterial agents are under investigation. Few of the proven natural products & Phyto chemicals having antibiotic property includes: Honey), Mentha arvensis L., Cordia verbenacea DC, turmeric, curcumin (active ingredient of turmeric) etc. This invitro study is an attempt in demonstrating the effect of NaCl & sucrose (solutions at different concentration range) on bacterial growth activity.
