Project Overview

The project "Investigating the Antibacterial Properties of Plant Extracts against Drug-Resistant Bacteria" aims to explore the potential of plant extracts as alternative sources of antibacterial agents to combat drug-resistant bacteria. Antibiotic resistance has become a significant global health issue, threatening the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics and necessitating the search for new antimicrobial agents. Plant extracts have long been recognized for their diverse bioactive compounds that exhibit antimicrobial properties. The research will delve into the bioactive components of select plant extracts and evaluate their efficacy against a panel of drug-resistant bacterial strains. By investigating the antibacterial properties of these plant extracts, the study seeks to identify potential candidates for further development as novel antimicrobial agents. The project will utilize a combination of microbiological assays, bioassays, and biochemical analyses to characterize the antibacterial activity of the plant extracts. Furthermore, the research will explore the mechanisms of action underlying the antibacterial effects of these plant extracts. Understanding the mode of action can provide insights into the interactions between the bioactive compounds and bacterial targets, shedding light on the potential applications of these plant-derived agents in combating drug-resistant bacteria. Through this investigation, the project aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on plant-based antimicrobials and their potential role in addressing the challenge of antibiotic resistance. The findings from this research could have implications for the development of new therapeutic strategies to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections and pave the way for the discovery of novel antibacterial agents from natural sources.
