Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus
is a common pathogen responsible for a range of infections, from minor skin
conditions to severe systemic diseases. This study evaluates the antibacterial
efficiency of various commercially available and medicated soaps against S.
aureus using standard microbiological methods. The agar well diffusion
method measured the zone of inhibition for each soap. Results indicated that
medicated soaps demonstrated the highest antibacterial activity, producing
significant zones of inhibition and reducing bacterial counts effectively.
Beauty soaps exhibited the least antibacterial efficacy, with minimal zone of
inhibition than the medicated soap against S. aureus. Herbal soaps,
exhibited minimal or no inhibition against S. aureus. The study reveals
the importance of selecting appropriate soap formulations for infection control
in both healthcare and daily hygiene practices.
