Phytochemical Evaluation and Antimicrobial Study of Ethanolic Terminalia chebula Extract

In nature, microbes are present everywhere and are always changing. The recent rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria serves as both evidence of the effectiveness of natural selection and an evolutionary lesson in microbial adaptability. The current study was conducted to assess Terminalia chebula's antibacterial efficacy in the hunt for possible antimicrobial agents from natural sources. The findings demonstrated the ampicillin and ciprofloxacin resistance of the clinical pathogens isolated from urine. Urinary isolates were shown to be susceptible to gentamycin and tetracyclin. For the ethanolic extract, zones of inhibition ranged from 20±4.5 mm (Escherichia sp.) to 14±4.3mm (Klebsiella sp. and Staphylococcus sp.).
