Mangroves that need no introduction in today’s world with a variety of bioactive metabolites have been the interest of marine researchers all over the world. Apart from the resources those flourishes in the dense tangle of roots, mud and tidal water, mangroves are known for it’s medicinal wealth that have been successfully employed for treating a variety of diseases over hundreds of years. For generations, the mangroves have proven its use worldwide. The specific medicinal properties of Rhizophora mucronata depend on the part employed and finds its use to treat human ailments like angina, dysentery, hematuria and many more. It’s no news that the mangrove microbial communities produce a plethora of bioactive secondary metabolites drawing many a curious researcher to the tidal swamps. The search for bioactive metabolites is a result of curiosity and interest as they prove to be new lead structures as generation next medicines bypassing the age-old antibiotics. The present study tests the foliar extracts of Rhizophora mucronata for its antibacterial effect. Moreover the mangrove ecosystem still remains a largely unexplored source of metabolites combating (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcos aureus (MRSA) which consequently leads to studies that are underway to find natural remedies that can effectively take on MRSA .GC MS instrumental analysis was also done to identify the compound hitherto unprecedented in nature.
