Antimicrobials in Plants Against Strains of Bacteria
Elizabeth Towne
Antibiotics are gradually becoming useless since bacterial strains are obtaining resistance to them. Antimicrobials in plants may have an impact on these bacterial strains. The antimicrobials would kill off the bacteria and replace current antibiotics bacteria are growing resistant against. The prospect plants would go through a process of extraction, concentration, sterilization, and a disk assay to see if the particular plant has an effect on the bacterial strains. Plant antimicrobials could become the new antibiotics to combat bacterial strains.
