The emergence of multiple drug resistant pathogenic bacteria are of great concern to the human health.Plants and plant extracts has been proved to be very beneficial for human health. Plant extract can be used as antimicrobial, food preservative agents and in controlling food poisoning diseases. By the long term use of similar type of antimicrobial agents, pathogenic bacteria develop some resistant property and show multiple drug resistant activity against antimicrobial agents. As time changes antimicrobial agents also need to modify with some new compositions. Present study is aimed to developed effective antimicrobial agent by combining it with aqueous and methanolic plant extract. Lantana camara was used to study their antimicrobial effect on pathogenic bacteria viz., E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and, Pseudomonas aruginosa. The synergistic effect of Lantana camara plant parts extract with ampicillin and gentamycin were studied on pathogenic bacteria. The antimicrobial property were determined using agar disc diffusion technique.
