Abstarct: The actual aim of this review article is to get a thoroughly search on different in vitro studies on bactericidal effect of staphylococcus on various extracts of garlic and ginger. Microbial pathogenecity and other infectious diseases have been controlled by use of commercially accessible antimicrobial drugs since last many years. In recent years, in sight of their valuable effects, utilize of spices or herbs is gradually increasing not only in developing countries but also in developed countries. Garlic (Allium sativum) that belongs to the family of Alliaceae is widely used in culinary and medicine.

The plant is reported to have antibacterial, anti-oxidant, antiprotozoal, anti-fungal, anti-emetic, anti-rhinoviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-insecticidal activity. Staphylococcus aureus is the most medically important member in terms of pathogenicity of the group, two other less important members are Staphylococcus epidermis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.
