Abstract
Azadirachta indica,
commonly known as neem, is a tree native to the Indian subcontinent and has
been an integral part of traditional medicine for centuries. Known for its
broad-spectrum therapeutic properties, neem is widely recognized for its
antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. This research aims
to evaluate the antifungal and antibacterial activity of neem extracts,
focusing on their potential as effective alternatives to synthetic drugs. By
testing both aqueous and ethanol extracts of neem against a range of bacterial
and fungal pathogens, this study seeks to assess the spectrum and potency of
its antimicrobial effects. The antibacterial activities of medicinal plant
extract were tested by the standarddisc diffusion method. The clinically pure
identified three major pathogens like Xanthomonas citri pv. citri
were taken for analysis.
