The study was done by time kill assay method where the antimicrobial activity of the fruit juices was checked in different time intervals. The use of different concentrations (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%) of citrus juice extracts had an effective antibacterial activity against. Lemon juice was the most effective against the test organisms in both undiluted and diluted concentration.
