Characterization and antibacterial potential of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Combretum collinum Fresen (Combretaceae) trunk bark against extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae strains

Original Research Article /

Introduction Infections caused by microorganisms have always been the primary global health threat. Indeed, one-third of global mortality and 43% of deaths in developing countries are due to infectious diseases [1]. Overall, bacterial infections alone account for 70% of deaths caused by microorganisms [2]. They therefore pose a significant global public health problem [3] [4]. […]

Original Research Article /

INTRODUCTION Spirogyra bichromatophora (Randhawa) Transeaupopularly also known as ‘water silk’ is categorized under the division Chlorophyta, phylum Charophyta, class Conjugatophyceae, order Zygnematales, family Zygnemataceae [1]. It grows in running streams, shallow ponds, ditches, and amongst vegetation at the edges of large lakes and secretes an envelope of mucous that makes it feel slippery, hence also called
