Extracts showed prominent inhibition in the development of bacterial growth on agar plate. Staphylococcus aureus identified from bacterial culture by the methods of Mannitol salt agar with provide a yellow colony of Staphylococcus aureus due to acidic activity. Prepare a mix solution of agar and plant extract, after solidifying the media spread the bacterial culture over the surface of media and leave it for a one day.
