Synergistic Effect of Combined Antibiotic and Asparagus racemosus Bark Extract as a Potent Antimicrobial Activity
Abstract
Antimicrobial drugs derived from plants alone cannot protect against diseases due to some limitations against bacterial growth in the environment. Research has consistently shown thatantibiotics derived from plants are synergistic; this means that although they contain fewer antibiotics when taken alone, they make the drug more effective when combined with medication. Antibiotics and herbal extracts work synergistically to prevent drug resistance, opening new avenues for treating infectious diseases. The synergistic effect of plant extracts and antibiotics was analyzed using the agar positive diffusion method. According to the research results, the activity level was higher when Asparagus racemosa plant extract was combined with antibacterial drugs. The results of this study suggest that combining plant extracts with antibiotics may be beneficial for newly developed antibiotics. According to HPTLC data, the combination of antibiotics with antibiotics does not lead to new compounds.
