Bacterial screening associated with respiratory infection and the synergistic effect of ginger and garlic tea extract conducted at assulfan herbal research center

Respiratory tract infection are the most common infectious diseases in human due to its common mode of transmission and leading a heavy burden to Public Health. The study was aimed to isolate the bacterial pathogens that are associated with respiratory infection and using synergistic effect to evaluate the antibacterial activity of ginger and garlic tea extract of potential isolates. The present study revealed the presence of 41 isolates of respiratory pathogens out of 200 Sample collected from sputum and swab throat. The isolation and identification of target pathogens were done using Cultural and biochemical Characterizations. 7(17.07%), 16(39.02%), 14(34.15%), 3(07.39%) and 1(02.44%) are positive of respectively. For the synergistic antibacterial effect of both methanolic and ethanolic extracts of garlic and ginger tea, all respiratory pathogens that were isolated in the present study were showed the great antibacterial effect except has highest activity of 17±0.7mm at 150mg/ml in methanolic while in ethanolic with 15±0.2 at 100mg/ml. Lowest activity was found to be 07±0.2mm at 50mg/ml for both and .
