Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the antimicrobial properties of novel plant extracts against pathogenic bacteria, aiming to explore their potential as alternative or adjunctive therapies to combat bacterial infections. The study delves into the use of plant extracts due to their diverse bioactive compounds that have shown promising antimicrobial activities. The research methodology involved the extraction of bioactive compounds from selected plant species, followed by evaluating their antimicrobial efficacy against a panel of pathogenic bacteria through various in vitro assays. The results revealed significant antimicrobial activity of the plant extracts, highlighting their potential as effective antimicrobial agents. The findings from this study contribute to the growing body of knowledge on natural antimicrobial agents and provide insights into the potential development of plant-based antimicrobial therapies. Further research is warranted to elucidate the mechanisms of action of these plant extracts and their potential applications in clinical settings. Overall, this study underscores the importance of exploring novel plant extracts as a valuable source of antimicrobial agents in the fight against pathogenic bacteria.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "Exploring the Antimicrobial Properties of Novel Plant Extracts Against Pathogenic Bacteria" aims to investigate the potential antimicrobial properties of unique plant extracts in combating pathogenic bacteria. Pathogenic bacteria pose a significant threat to human health, leading to various infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance concerns. Therefore, exploring alternative antimicrobial agents derived from plant sources is crucial for developing new strategies to combat these pathogens effectively. The study will begin with a comprehensive literature review to provide a foundation for understanding the current knowledge on antimicrobial properties of plant extracts and their mechanisms of action against pathogenic bacteria. This review will cover various plant species known for their antimicrobial properties and highlight gaps in existing research that this study aims to address. The research methodology will involve the collection of novel plant extracts from selected plant species known for their medicinal properties. These extracts will undergo rigorous testing using microbiological techniques to evaluate their efficacy against a panel of pathogenic bacteria. The study will also investigate the potential synergistic effects of combining different plant extracts to enhance their antimicrobial activity. The findings of this research will be discussed in detail, including the identification of plant extracts with the most promising antimicrobial properties and their mechanisms of action against pathogenic bacteria. The study will also address any limitations encountered during the research process and provide recommendations for future studies to further explore the antimicrobial potential of plant extracts. In conclusion, this research project aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on natural antimicrobial agents derived from plant sources. By exploring the antimicrobial properties of novel plant extracts, this study seeks to identify new strategies for combating pathogenic bacteria and addressing the global challenge of antibiotic resistance.
