Abstract

Due to its strong antibacterial qualities, the neem plant (Azadirachta indica) has been a hot topic in medical study. Bioactive substances like azadirachtin, nimbin, and nimbidin are present in its several components, including neem oil and leaf extracts. Neem is a potent natural antibiotic because these chemicals have antibacterial properties on a variety of dangerous microorganisms. Neem has the potential to fight drug-resistant infections, as evidenced by its capacity to damage bacterial cell membranes, thwart enzymatic reactions, and obstruct bacterial DNA replication.Saccharomyces The Effect of Boulardii on Microorganisms A non-pathogenic yeast called Saccharomyces Boulardii has shown to have significant effects on bacteria, especially in the digestive system. According to extensive study, Saccharomyces Boulardii helps maintain a healthy gut microbiota by preventing the formation of harmful bacteria like Clostridium difficile. Furthermore, the yeast creates secondary metabolites including short-chain fatty acids and antimicrobial peptides that help the body defend itself against dangerous invaders and preserve microbial homeostasis. Neem and Saccharomyces Boulardii's partnership has the potential to decrease the use of chemical disinfectants. In addition to contributing to environmental contamination, the use of these chemical agents can have negative health effects on people. Utilizing the neem and Saccharomyces Boulardii's built-in antibacterial properties, healthcare and sanitation procedures can move toward more environmentally friendly and long-lasting alternatives.
