Abstract:-

All the extracts of Origanum vulgaris showed sensitivity against most of the test bacterial cultures and also against microbes isolated from food samples but did not showed good antifungal results against Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus oryzae. Among all the extracts ethanolic extract showed maximum antimicrobial effect against all the standard bacterial cultures except Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212. Thus, it Origanum vulgaris can be used as potent inhibitor for the growth of microorganisms responsible for food spoilage and infections.
