Studying the antimicrobial activity of rhizoma homalomenae on staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

The antimicrobial activity of Rhizoma Homalomenae on the pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus was thoroughly investigated. It has been found that Rhizoma Homalomenae has good antimicrobial activity against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus at certain degrees of culturing conditions. It is however, worth noting that with its presence of 7% up, of total prepared ingredients for a culture medium, Rhizoma Homalomenae shows its good potency against Staphylococcus aureus, after 24 hours of incubation at 37o C.
