Project Overview

The project titled "Investigation of the antimicrobial properties of natural plant extracts against drug-resistant bacteria" aims to explore the potential of natural plant extracts as alternative antimicrobial agents to combat drug-resistant bacteria. With the rise of antibiotic resistance posing a significant threat to public health, there is an urgent need to discover new antimicrobial agents that can effectively target and inhibit drug-resistant bacterial strains. Natural plant extracts have long been known for their diverse bioactive compounds, some of which exhibit antimicrobial properties. By investigating the antimicrobial potential of these plant extracts, this research seeks to identify novel compounds that could serve as effective antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria. The study will involve screening a variety of plant extracts through laboratory experiments to evaluate their antimicrobial activity against a panel of drug-resistant bacterial strains commonly found in clinical settings. The research will include comprehensive literature reviews on the antimicrobial properties of various plant extracts and their mechanisms of action against bacteria. This will provide a solid foundation for understanding the potential of natural compounds in combating drug-resistant bacteria. The methodology will involve extraction of bioactive compounds from selected plant sources, followed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing to determine the effectiveness of these extracts against drug-resistant bacterial isolates. The findings of this study are expected to contribute valuable insights into the antimicrobial potential of natural plant extracts and their role in overcoming antibiotic resistance. By identifying specific plant extracts with potent antimicrobial activity, this research may pave the way for the development of new antimicrobial agents that can be used as alternatives to conventional antibiotics. The significance of this research lies in its potential to address the pressing global health challenge of antibiotic resistance and provide sustainable solutions for combating drug-resistant bacterial infections. Through an in-depth investigation of the antimicrobial properties of natural plant extracts, this project aims to advance our understanding of alternative antimicrobial strategies and contribute to the development of novel therapeutic options for infectious diseases caused by drug-resistant bacteria.
