Antibacterial activities of tea extracts in various solvents were tested against six organisms, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Serracia sp., and Bacillus subtilis using agar-well method. Petroleum ether and chloroform extracts of tea showed strong antibacterial activities against P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis while other extracts were less active. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of chloroform extract of tea was found to be 25µg/mL. This study may establish the need for daily use of this product for medicinal purposes. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol2no1/antimicrobial-activity-of-tea-camellia-sinensis/ Tea Camellia sinensis antibacterial activity extracts
