Considering the use of Ayurvedic metal based herbal preparations to treat various disorders, we studied the antibacterial potential of some Ayurvedic preparations such as Mandura bhasma, Tamra bhasma, Lauha bhasma and Kashis bhasma against enteric bacterial pathogens such as &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Salmonella typhimurium &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Proteus vulgaris&lt;/em&gt; using a disc diffusion method&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; The results revealed that Tamra bhasma possesses strong antibacterial activity while Lauha bhasma and Mandura bhasma showed significant antibacterial activity. Study suggest that the use these bhasma may useful to control the enteric bacterial infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
