In vivo assessments reveal that Moringa oleifera extract significantly decreases Salmonella fecal load, suggesting its potential as an alternative treatment for bacterial infections.
Key Points
Moringa oleifera extract demonstrates a significant antibacterial effect against multidrug-resistant Salmonella.
At a dosage of 500 mg/kg, the extract achieved 100% inhibition of fecal Salmonella colonies by day 10 in the rat model.
Administered orally for 10 days, the extract showed no adverse biochemical effects, indicating its safety.
The high efficacy and safety of Moringa oleifera support its traditional use and potential for treating antibiotic-resistant infections.
