Abstract:
Background: Antibiotic resistance is currently a major global health concern. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are emerging and spreading rapidly, threatening the ability to treat common infectious diseases such as urinary tract infection (UTI). The objective of this study is to determine the in vitro antimicrobial activities of two medicinal plants (Euphorbia hirta and Senna alata) and their synergistic effects with synthetic antibiotics.
