As microbial pathogens developing tolerance against current drug formulation so there is always a continuous need to isolate a new drug from plant sources. Keeping this in mind the present work was designed to identify antimicrobial potential of photochemical isolated from turmeric. In present study the phytochemical screening of turmeric for alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, glycosides, proteins, phenols, saponin, steroid, tannin and terpenoids was performed. The phytochemical analysis of the methanolic extract showed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, phenols, steroids and terpenoids. The antimicrobial analysis of turmeric extract showed highest activity by methanol extract against Staphylococcus aureus (13mm). Escherichia coli showed no sensitivity against all extracts.

Phytochemicals, Alkaloids, Staphylococcus aureus, Flavonoids.
