摘要：Methanolic extracts of Chromolaena odorata were tested for potential use as an antimicrobial agent onviscose fabric. Various concentrations of the extracts from 1 % to 9% was taken and treated on viscose nonwovenfabric with the aid of ultrasonic atomizer. The antibacterial and antifungal assay (AATCC test method 90 -2011, Agartest method) of the treated fabric was done against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus niger andCandida albicans. The zone of inhibition formed were E. coli (3mm), S. aureus(5mm),Candida (3mm)and no zonewere formed for A. niger. 5% of Chromolaena odorata extracts can be used as a natural antimicrobial agent on textileswhich can be used for medical applications.
