ABSTRACT:

Background: The study was carried out with an objective to investigate the antibacterial activity of Viparita malla Tail. The aim of the study is to assess the antibacterial activity & determine the zone of inhibition of Viparita malla Tail on a bacterial strain.

Methodology: Preparation of Viparita malla tail was performed as described in Vangasena Samhita 79/59-60. Antibacterial activity was seen using Agar Cup Diffusion Method and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration(MIC) was determined using Resazurin assay.

Result: Results showed that Viparita malla Tail exhibited a significant activity against clinically relevant bacteria

Conclusion: Viparita malla Tail may be useful in the clinical management of bacterial infections, justifying future clinical trials to validate their use in therapeutics.
