Abstract:

Emergence of resistance against commonly used antibiotics has become a serious global concern. The emergence of antimicrobial or multidrug resistance to standard antibiotics associated with Staphylococcus aureus causes a benefit of interest to ayurvedic drugs as an effective means of control. Acetone, ethanol, methanol, and aqueous hot and cold extracts of nine ayurvedic churnas viz Manjishta, Kadunimchal, Neempati, Behada, Arjusal, Trikatu, Dhataki, Jati and Marich were tested for their antibacterial action against three multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from clinical samples. Ethanol and acetone extracts of Kadunimchal, behada & Jati were found bactericidal against all three strains. Antibiogram studies revealed the antibacterial pattern of many churnas against the MDR Staphylococcus aureus strains and potential use of ayurvedic formulations against infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
