Microorganisms are raising resistance against available antibiotics due to usage of antibiotics in a wrong way. There is lot of demand for finding /searching new natural antimicrobial agents as they are inexpensive, easily available, most of them are edible and mainly non-toxic even at the rate of milligram quantity. The aim was to study the efficiency of the anti-bacterial effect of Polyphenols enriched extract of Drum stick plant leaves (Moringa oleifera) against staphylococcus aureus. The materials involved in this study include Drum stick plant leaves, micro-organism staphylococcus aureus in the bacterial type culture collection, agar, and blood-agar plates. At 10% concentration, of Polyphenols enriched extract of Drum stick leaves had zero anti-bacterial activity, while between 20 to 25% concentrations revealed high activity against the bacteria. Thus, increased in the anti-bacterial activity was promising as the concentration augmented from 20 to 25%. The results acquired from this study points that polyphenol enriched extract of Drum stick leaves (Moringa oleifera) had antibacterial property against Staphylococcus aureus when obtained to a necessary concentration.
