Abstract

We have evaluated antimicrobial activity of neem leaves extract and cow urine extract on bacterial strains which are Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus. Pseudomonas aeruginosa to assess the phytochemical analysis of neem leaves and cow urine. In this various studied extracts of cow urine and Azadirachta indica possessed antimicrobial activity against pathogens liked Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The extracted Indian cow urine and Azadirachta indica demonstrated antimicrobial properties against all tested microorganisms. Given their abundance in nature, cow urine and Azadirachta indica offer a cost-effective and easily processable solution for a range of health issues, making them promising for future applications. The medicinal properties of these cow urine and Azadirachta indica can be exploited to formulate drugs for several diseases caused by antibiotic resistant pathogenic microorganisms.
