ASSESSMENT OF ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF MORINGA OLEIFERA AND AZADIRACHTA INDICA LEAVES AGAINST ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS, CANDIDA ALBICANS - AN INVITRO STUDY

Objective: To evaluate the antibacterial activity of triple antibiotic paste, Moringa oleifera, Azadirachta indica against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans. Methods: .The extracts of Azadirachta indica and Moringa oleifera were prepared in vitro and the antibacterial e?ect of the extracts against Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans was evaluated using the agar di?usion technique. Results:The study showed that A.indica has a highest inhibitory growth (17.0mm) followed by A.indica and M.oleifera combination (16mm) against E. faecalis and C.albicans, and M.oleifera has the least inhibitory growth(14.00mm).Conclusion: According to this study, A. indica and M.oleifera demonstrated an antibacterial effect against E. faecalis and C.albicans.
