ABSTRACT

Antimicrobial activity of Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and Garlic (Allium sativum) was tested against
two gram positive (Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus) and two gram negative (Salmonella typhi
and Escherichia coli) pathogenic bacteria at different conc. (1000 ppm, 1500 ppm, 2000 ppm) of their
extracts among which garlic was found to be more effective as compared to clove. Bacillus cereus was
found to be most sensitive while E.coli was most resistant.
Keywords: Antibacterial activity, parts per million (ppm), Syzygium aromaticum, Allium sativum, etc.
