Cinnamon is one of the most common spices and food flavoring additives.. The National Library of Medicine states that Cinnamon possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties (Vasconcelos, 2018). During the last two decades, growing evidence shows that cinnamon is a strong antimicrobial agent that may act as antibacterial and antifungal system (Vasconcelos, 2018). The increased number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria calls for a new solution. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of cinnamon against two common bacterial strains, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Eschericihia Coli (E.coli) on an agar plate. This culminates in the question: does cinnamon have the antimicrobial properties to serve as an alternative treatment for drug resistant bacterial infections caused by E.coli and S. aureus?
