Synergistic antibacterial activity of four medicinal plants together with antibiotics against multidrug-resistant bacteria.

The emergence of drug resistance in human and animal pathogenic bacteria, as well as undesirable side effects of certain antibiotics, has triggered immense interest for searching new antimicrobial alternatives of plant origin. This study aimed to screen the antibacterial potential of crude ethanolic leaf extracts of holy basil, neem, mexican marigold and bitter melon on seven multidrug resistant pathogenic bacteria namely Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus cereus, Comamonas aquatica, Enterobacter hormaechei, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Shewanella seohaensis and  Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
