Anti-Microbial Efficacy Of Ficus Benghalensis And Azadirachta Indica Formulation - An In Vitro Study

Aim: The aim of the present study was to synthesize an antimicrobial solution against four common oral pathogens using two herbal formulations. Materials and methods: Ficus benghalensis and Azadirachta indica leaves were dried and powdered, which were made into herbal formulation. The solution was synthesized using 1gm of banyan leaf and neem leaf extract and were mixed with 100 mL distilled water and boiled for 10 mins using a heating mandel at 70 to 80 degree celsius and the heated plant extract were filtered using whatman no 1.filter. Cytotoxicity effect of the herbal solution was tested. Later antimicrobial activity against four common pathogens was evaluated with three different concentration (25 μL, 50 μL, 100 μL and standard (AMOXYRITE)) in agar diffusion methods.
