This study was undertaken to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of Acnano (a polyherbal nanoemulsion) against acne causing microbes Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis along with some other dermal disease causing microbes such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Morganella morganii, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Citrobacter braakii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Proteus vulgaris, yeast such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and fungi Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The agar well diffusion method, approved by NCCLS with the modification, was used. Student t test was performed using One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). This study showed that Acnano possesses potent antimicrobial activity against bacteria as well as fungi.
