Project Overview

The project titled "Investigation of the antimicrobial properties of natural plant extracts against pathogenic bacteria" aims to explore the potential of natural plant extracts in combating pathogenic bacteria. With the rising concerns over antibiotic resistance and the limited efficacy of conventional antibiotics, there is a growing interest in alternative antimicrobial agents derived from natural sources. Plants have long been known for their diverse bioactive compounds, some of which exhibit antimicrobial properties. This research will focus on identifying and analyzing natural plant extracts that demonstrate antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria. The study will involve the collection of various plant samples, extraction of bioactive compounds, and testing their antimicrobial efficacy through in vitro experiments. The selected pathogenic bacteria strains will be exposed to different concentrations of plant extracts to determine their inhibitory effects. The project will also delve into the mechanisms underlying the antimicrobial properties of these natural plant extracts. By investigating the mode of action of bioactive compounds, the research aims to provide insights into how these plant-derived substances can effectively target and inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Understanding the mechanisms of action is crucial for developing new antimicrobial agents and combating antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, the study will assess the potential synergistic effects of combining different plant extracts to enhance their antimicrobial activity. By exploring the interactions between various plant compounds, the research aims to optimize the antimicrobial efficacy of natural extracts and potentially develop novel antimicrobial formulations. Overall, this research project seeks to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on natural antimicrobial agents and their potential applications in combating pathogenic bacteria. The findings from this study may have implications for the development of alternative therapeutics, particularly in the context of addressing antibiotic resistance and promoting the use of sustainable and eco-friendly antimicrobial agents derived from natural sources.
