EFFECT OF COMBINATION THERAPY USING COW (BOS INDICUS) URINE DISTILLATE AND SOME INDIAN MEDICINAL PLANTS AGAINST SELECTIVE PATHOGENIC GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA
AbstractInconsequential use of broad-spectrum antibiotics results in the evolution of multiple drug resistant pathogenic gram-negative bacterial strains which is a global health threat and is responsible for high morbidity and mortality rates. This necessitated the search for new effective and safe treatment strategies. One such successful treatment strategy is combination therapy which comprises cow urine distillate and medicinal plants extract. In the present report, this combination therapy was used against five pathogenic gram-negative bacteria- S. typhimurium, K. pneumoniae, E. coli, E. aerogenes and V. cholerae. It was observed that combination therapy had more profound effect than the individual plant extract against all the bacterial strains at the specified level. Combination therapy with T. erecta plant extract was found to be the most effective which improved the antibacterial effect 2.54 times more against E. coli. Other plants extract also improved their antibacterial potential when used with CUD (R.A.I=1.28 to 2.54).
