Description
Antimicrobial resistance is a major health concern, especially among ESKAPE bacteria, which are known for resisting antibiotics. Resistance is increasing due to the overuse of antibiotics, making research like this essential.To study Antimicrobial resistance safely, we screened bacteria isolated from the soil for antibiotic activity against non-harmful ESKAPE strains. The soil that can inhibit the growth of these organisms will be identified in further testing. This research emphasizes the need for continued monitoring and better antibiotic use to help combat Antimicrobial resistance.
