Abstract

The objective of the present study was to investigate the in-vitro antibacterial effect of 2 different extracts of A marmelos and M. koenigii either alone or in a combination against the bacteria isolated from the cows suffering from endometritis. Uterine swabs were taken from 12 cows suffering from endometritis, and isolates were positive for bacterial infection. The ethanolic and aqueous extract of A marmelos and M. koenigii were prepared to evaluate the in-vitro bacterial sensitivity against the isolated bacteria. Extract of both the plants showed antibacterial activity against the isolated bacteria, either alone or in combination, in a various degree. The ethanolic extract of both plant leaves showed better efficacy than the aqueous extract and also extract from combination of both plant leaves showed better and synergistic effect. The results demonstrated the potential antibacterial effect of A. marmelos and M. koenigii leaf extract on the bacterial species isolated from endometritic cows.
