Abstract

Consumers’ attitude toward hygiene and an active lifestyle have created a rapidly increasing market for antimicrobial textiles, which in turn has stimulated intensive research and development. Being in contact with the skin and a barrier between outer space and the body, it can accumulate and inculcate various bacteria and viruses. A large number of synthetic antimicrobial agents are available but they come with the disadvantages of increasing pollution load, drug resistance factors, and many more. This study focuses on the evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of cotton fabric treated with the herbal bioactive agent Andrographis paniculata. Phytochemical Analysis, FTIR, and UV spectroscopy results showed the presence of active bioactive compounds responsible for antimicrobial activity. The bioactive agent from Andrographis Paniculata was extracted with the Soxhlet extraction technique and applied to cotton fabric. The quantitative antimicrobial activity showed 99.90% bacterial growth reduction against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
