Exploring the Antibacterial Properties of Plant Extracts Against Multi-Drug Resistant Pathogens

Project Abstract

The increasing prevalence of multi-drug resistant pathogens poses a significant challenge to public health worldwide. In response to this urgent issue, this research project aims to explore the antibacterial properties of plant extracts as potential alternative treatments against multi-drug resistant pathogens. The study will focus on investigating the efficacy of various plant extracts in inhibiting the growth of these resistant pathogens through in vitro experiments and analyses.
