Camellia Sinensis Leaves a New Treatment against Urinary Tract Infection Caused by Pseudomonas Fluorescens and Serratia Sp

Urinary tract infection is the most common disease in females and males which is big threat of kidney failure. The increasing interest is in the powerful biological activity of medicinal plant containing bioactive compounds which paves way for the importance to determine their antibacterial activity. The bioactive chemical determination revealed the presence of bioactive constituents’ steroids, alkaloids, tannins and flavonoids due the color change in the reaction tubes. While the absence of terpenoids saponins and glycosides as there was no color change in the reaction tubes. The total flavonoid content was 16mg/gram while total phenolic compound was 0.9grams in the leave extract of Camellia sinensis. The reducing power was found 0.13grams/gram of leave extracts. The phenolic extract of Camellia sinensis showed the antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas fluorescens and Serratia Sp by showing maximum zone of inhibition around the bacterial colonies when compared with standard antibiotics Cotrimaxazole, Norfloxacin, Chloramphenicol, and Nalidixic acid. INTRODUCTION: Medicinal plants are important source of pharmacological effects that act as new antiinfectious agents 1 . Plant leaves are the most commonly used traditionally natural antimicrobial agents against various drug resistant microorganisms for thousands of years by many cultures of peoples in the past decade 2 . Plant materials have shown the antimicrobial activity on various pathogenic microorganisms therefore consumption of tea has decrease the urinary tract infection 3 . The most important bioactive constituents of plants are steroids, terpenoids, carotenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins and glycosides which have served a valuable starting material for drug development 4 .

It is generally safe, non-toxic having no side effects after
