The antibacterial properties of Ampelocissus latifolia root extract against Bacillus anthracis
Overall, MRE demonstrates potent antibacterial activity against B. anthracis. It could be particularly useful in treating cutaneous anthrax, where topical application of the extract might be effective. Moreover, MRE could serve as a natural disinfectant for B. anthracis-contaminated sites. Further research into the bioactive compounds present in the extract may lead to the development of new therapeutic agents for anthrax treatment.
