In the present study 105 numbers of microbial isolates were isolated from 96 milk samples and were processed as per routine method of microbial isolation. Various types of tea extracts like black tea and green tea were used in combination with antibiotic discs obtained from HiMedia, Mumbai. The synergistic effects of antibiotics and tea extracts against resistant bovine pathogens lead to new choices for development of combination therapy during chronic mastitis. In the present study methanol was used as solvent for green and black tea samples in various concentrations. It is revealed that the tea extracts in combination with chloramphenicol, tetracycline, levofloxacin and gentamicin enhanced the zone of inhibition in comparison to individual therapy. In order to establish the above finding a more elaborative study on mastitogenic microbial isolates the antimicrobial synergistic testing is needed.
