Abstract

Bioactive compounds from Syzigium aromaticum were extracted by Soxhlet using methanol and extracts were examined for its phytocomponents along with Clove oil. These bioactive plant compounds were screened for possible antimicrobial activities against six strains of MDR S. aureus. Antioxidant activities of extracts and oil was examined by free radical scavenging method.
