The goal of this investigation was to see if solvent extracts of T. chebula fruit have any antibacterial activity in vitro against E. coli and Pseudomonas uropathogens. In this investigation, uropathogenic microorganisms were employed. For antibacterial susceptibility testing, several extractions of T. chebula fruits were done using solvents of Agar well diffusion techniques were utilized. The hydroalcoholic extract of T. chebula fruits was shown to have the best antibacterial activity against both UTI bacteria in the test isolates. give support for the use of Terminalia chebula fruit in folk medicine to treat a variety of infectious disorders, and might aid in the development of alternative or complementary therapy for uropathogens.
