Assessing the Prospective Antibacterial Qualities of Cow Urine Against the Pathogen Accountable for Ear Infections in Contrast to Commercially Accessible Antibiotic Eardrops

Abstract

An elevating serious issue, ear infections are primarily seen in young children, particularly in those poor nations. Unfortunately, patients are burdened with a series of adverse effects associated with the currently approved therapies. Consequently, this research targets to determine the likelihood of antibacterial properties in cow urine to cure ear infections. Disc diffusion method was used with the main purpose to discover effectiveness of antibacterial activity from cow urine to fight against the bacteria that result in ear infections such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Both bacteria were cultured and examined using Mueller Hinton agar (MHA) to check for their response against different concentration of cow urine (15%, 45%, 75% and 100%). The plates were incubated overnight at 37^oC while the diameter of inhibition zone were measured in the following day in millimeters using ruler. The collected data were analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. A stronger antibacterial effect was exerted by cow urine against Staphylococcus aureus where impressive zone of inhibition were obtained from all the concentration including 23.5mm for 15%; 14mm for 45%; 16mm for 75% and 14.5mm for 100% of cow urine. Meanwhile the p-value that below than 0.05 indicating that the result is significant. However, most of the cow urine in few concentrations shows no inhibition zone against Pseudomonas aeruginosa while only the 15% cow urine was noted with 9.5mm of inhibition zone. P < 0.05 indicates a significant result. Based on my findings, cow urine exhibits potential antimicrobial effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa through disc diffusion method. Thus, it can be said that cow urine is good to combat bacteria causing ear infections.
