The present study evaluates the in vitro antimicrobial activity of solvent extracts of selected Indian spices commonly used in daily diets. Methanolic extracts of ginger (Zingiber officinale), turmeric (Curcuma longa), clove (Syzygium aromaticum), coriander (Coriandrum sativum), and black pepper (Piper nigrum) were tested against two pathogenic bacteria, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Antimicrobial efficacy was assessed using the agar well diffusion method, and zones of inhibition were recorded at different extract concentrations. Among the spices tested, ginger, turmeric, and clove exhibited strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with methanolic extracts showing superior efficacy compared to other solvents. The findings suggest that selected spice extracts possess significant antimicrobial properties and may serve as potential natural alternatives to synthetic antimicrobial agents in food preservation and pharmaceutical applications.
