In addition to which it is packed with nutrients, packed with antioxidants, helps in lipid control and protects liver
health, it is also known to have antibacterial and antifungal properties to fight infections with very minimal or no side
effects.

A study aqueous extract of Moringa plant inhibited the activity of these bacteria which include Bacillus
cereus; Staphylococcus aureus; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia
coli; Enterococcus cloacae; Salmonella typhi and; Proteus vulgaris
The leaf extracts of Moringa oleifera showed varying antimicrobial activity on wide range of microorganisms.

Why ointment?
Topical skin infections commonly occur and often present therapeutic challenges to practitioners, despite the
numerous existing antimicrobial agents available today. The necessity for developing new antimicrobial means has
increased significantly due to growing concerns regarding multidrug-resistant bacterial, viral, and fungal strains.
Consequently, attention has been devoted to safe, new, and/or alternative antimicrobial materials in the field of
antimicrobial chemotherapy.

Description
Identification
Assay—A specific and stability-indicating test should be used to determine the strength (content) of the
drug product. See Antibiotics—Microbial Assays h81i, h621i, or Assay for Steroids h351i. In cases when the
use of nonspecific assay is justified, e.g., Titrimetry h541i, other supporting analytical procedures should be
used to achieve overall specificity. A specific procedure should be used when there is evidence of excipient
interference with the nonspecific assay
