Drumstick, also known as Moringa oleifera Lam., is a wild and cultivated plant of the genus Moringa that belongs to the family Moringaceae. While having no negative side effects, its plant extracts have good therapeutic qualities that are comparable to antibiotics. In order to learn more about the antibacterial activity of Moringa extracts prepared in different solvents, including water, methanol, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and chloroform, the current investigation was undertaken utilising air dried fresh Moringa leaves. By keeping an eye on the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) value, one can determine the antibacterial activity of Moringa leaf extracts made in these solvents. Different solvent-based extracts demonstrated antibiotic activity against a variety of pathogens, including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It was shown that leaf extracts in methanol and ethyl acetate were more efficient than those in ethanol. According to MIC values, Bacillus subtilis (23 mg/ml) was the bacterial strain that was most sensitive to moringa extract, followed by Staphylococcus aureus (25 mg/ml) and Escherichia coli (29 mg/ml). Staphylococcus aureus (15 mg/ml) was the strain that was most sensitive to the antibiotic tetracycline, whereas Escherichia coli (14 mg/ml) and Bacillus subtilis (17 mg/ml) were shown to be sensitive to chloramphenicol. The findings of this study indicate that Moringa oleifera leaf extract can be used to uncover antibacterial agents and create new medications for the treatment of common human pathogenic microorganisms that cause specific illnesses. The active substances that are responsible for the antibacterial action should be isolated and characterized in further research. They should also be examined in vivo to assess their toxicity and the ideal dose for application in the future.
