“…They concluded that brewed black tea added to antibiotics reduced the severity of conjunctivitis in infants and the duration of treatment. 22 The main limitations of our study are the crude preparation of the tea extract and the fact that it is a mixture of multiple ingredients. It is uncertain whether a single constituent is responsible for the observed effect or if it is a synergistic effect of multiple constituents.…”

To determine the safety and efficacy of black tea extract in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis in a rabbit model and compare it with that of gatifloxacin drops. Methods: Black tea extract was tested in vitro on bacterial cultures of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Forty-two rabbit eyes were cultured with either MRSA (n¼21) or P. aeruginosa (n¼21) and further divided into a control group (n¼5), a tea group (n¼8) treated with black tea extract, and a gatifloxacin group (n¼8) treated with 0.3% gatifloxacin eye drops. Conjunctival swabs were collected on the third and fifth days. Results: The tea extract successfully inhibited the growth of both organisms at a concentration of 400 mg/mL. Rabbits in the treatment groups showed a reduction in the clinical index on day 2 (P,0.01), unlike the control group (P¼0.1), for both organisms. Resolution of conjunctivitis was achieved on days 4 and 5 in the tea and gatifloxacin groups, respectively. On days 3 and 5, while the control group still showed considerable bacterial growth, the tea and gatifloxacin groups showed its inhibition. Conclusion: Tea extract has antimicrobial effects similar to those of gatifloxacin in a rabbit model of conjunctivitis.
