Abstract :

In the present investigation the zingiber officinale belonging to family zingiberacaeae has been used to determine its antimicrobial and antibiotic potential under laboratory condition. In the present study the antibiotic potential of Zingiber officinale have explored against the most causing organism pseudomonas. The ethanolic and methanolic 70% extract were used and the antimicrobial and antibiotic activity has been determined in both the control sets and experimental sets. The ethanolic extract is showing the 12.33 mm zone of inhibition while methanolic extract is showing the 16.20 mm zone of inhibition against the causing microorganism. Thus the treatment of methanolic extract is found to be very effective to control the growth of causing microorganisms indicating the presence of some secondary bioactive compound in the plant extract as found in the commercial antibiotic like co–timoxazole and Imperem.
