Antibiotic resistance is a global public health threat. It can leadto longer durations of illness, increased healthcare costs, and higher mortalityrates from infections that were once easily treatable. In the U.S., more than 2.8 million antimicrobial resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35,000 people die as a result. Alternative natural medicine and plant extracts as Tamarind offers complementary approaches to conventional medicine and potential remedies with fewer side effects. Researchers have reported that the critical role by Tamarind effectiveness against gram- positive bacteria. Studies have indicated that tamarind extracts or compounds derived from tamarind possess antibacterial activity against various gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus species. Likewise, Tamarind also exhibits antibacterial effects against gram-negative bacteria that inhibit the growth of gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella species. The purpose of this study is to investigate the antibacterial effect of tamarind on multiple resistant, and used the tamarind extract as an alternative treatment to cure some serious diseases. Methodology: This study is initially tested tamarind extracts against bacteria species. The tamarind was extracted different extraction methods on different concentration to identify, which is more effect against the bacteria. Findings: Timerhind extract examined against MDR pathogens are MRSA, Staph aureus, Streptococcus pyogens, E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aergenosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The paste extract results strong inhibitory effect against MRSA, Staph aureus, Streptococcus pyogens, E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aergenosa and Klebsiella pneumonia. Conclusion & Significance: To evaluate the antibacterial effect of Timerhind indica extract on tested pathogenic bacteria. This can assist in understanding more about the antibacterial activity of plants extracts and open new avenues of treatment options in the future and identify its most effective components.
