Implication

Prospective clinical study shows significant antibacterial activity of ethanolic extracts against ocular bacteria, suggesting an alternative treatment option.

Key Points

Ethanolic extracts of tridax procumbens achieved mean zones of inhibition of 18.48 mm against Staphylococcus aureus, indicating significant antibacterial activity.
The aqueous extract produced lower inhibition zones, with a maximum of 8.45 mm against Streptococcus viridans, highlighting the varying efficacy between extract types.
Ciprofloxacin exhibited a significantly higher mean zone of inhibition at 29.25 mm against Staphylococcus aureus, demonstrating its potent antibacterial effects.
The study underscores tridax procumbens as a potential alternative ophthalmic medication for treating bacterial infections in the eye.
