Abstract
Brihati is a well known drug used in various diseases like dyspnoea, odema, wound infection etc1 .Both root and fruit are useful part of plant according to brihatrayi2-11.The study is undertaken for antimicrobial activity of root and fruit against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus Caprae. If antimicrobial effect of root and fruit is similar than it is our duty to save the plant. No need to pluck the whole plant or root and use only fruit extracts for antimicrobial activity.However the literature mining reveled that brihati have not been studied for antimicrobial activities, hence the present study is first systematic attempt to analyze the antimicrobial potential of Brihati on selected strains.
