Abstract

Dushivishari Agad is used in medicinal preparation since long ago. The present study was taken to investigate the in vitro antimicrobial of this formulation. Agar-disc diffusion method was used for in vitro antimimicrobial screening. Zones of inhibition were observed in disc diffusion for antimicrobial investigation against selected standard bacterial strains. The formulation – ‘Dushivishari Agad’ showed average zone of inhibition ranging from 2-7 mm suggesting its activeness against the tested microorganisms. In this present study Dushivishari Agad has been checked against Cefpodoxime for their antimicrobial activity. So that further will reveal more importance in medicinal preparations. It will differentiate that which drug should have a better result in terms of antimicrobial activity.
