Antimicrobial and Anti-Biofilm Activities of Citrus sinensis and Moringa oleifera Against the Pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

The plant Moringa oleifera Lam (Moringaceae), generally termed as drumstick tree, and Citrus sinensis Linn (Rutaceae) fruit have the ability to treat multiple human infections. A biofilm is none other than a complicated microbial community whose nature is greatly resistant to antimicrobial elements. The development of biofilms in abiotic and biotic surfaces has a connection with higher levels of mortality and morbidity. Along with that, it is regarded as a vital element of bacterial pathogenicity.
