Summary, etc. <p style="text-align: justify;">In this study, the extracts of <em>Piper</em><em> betel</em> leaves have been obtained and finished on to the natural and regenerated bamboo/cotton knitted fabrics. The finished fabrics are assessed for the antibacterial activity against the selected pathogens<em> Staphylococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas sp., </em>and<strong><em> </em></strong><em>Proteus sp.,</em> which are commonly present in the human foot wounds<em>.</em> The obtained results are compared with the untreated fabrics and also with the fabric samples treated with two antibiotics, viz Cefixime and Levofloxacin which are commonly used for the treatment of the foot wounds. The herbal extract treated fabrics show good antibacterial activity against the pathogens, which makes them to have an antiseptic property. To enhance the wash durability of the finished samples the herbal extracts are microencapsulated and their wash durability is assessed using the standard methods.</p>
