Increasing
antibiotic resistance is the most common concern in the world. Escherichia
coli are a well-known causative agent of various infectious diseases. The
bacterial resistance on the E.Coli was noted against various
antibacterial agents. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate the
assessment of the green, black tea and coffee in improving antibiotic
susceptibility towards E.Coli. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was
performed to determine the sensivity of E.Coli to Augmantin, Amikacin,
Imipenem, Ciprofloxacin, Nitrofurantoin, Pincillin, Cefixime, Tetracyclin,
Chloramphenicol and Ceftriaxone. The results show that the E.Coli was
resistant to all antibacterial agents, while Pincillin, amikacin and
Nitrofurantoin was appeared sensitive to moderate respectively. The aqueous
extract of green and black tea have synergistic effect for Chloramphenicol and
Nitrofurantoin susceptibility,on the other hand, the antagonistic effect was on
Tetracyclin, Ciprofloxacin and Amikacin activities. The aqueous extract of
coffee was strongly inhibitory to bacteria at concentrations 5 and 7.5%. These
results may suggest using this natural product for increasing some of
antibacterial agents’ effect.
