Identification of effects of Matricaria chamomilla essential oil against bacteria

Modern medicine has been seen to cause a development of resistance after time of usage, this ineffectiveness causes stronger doses and the need for a change in antibiotics. Due to this problem, the development of more antibiotics has become crucial despite its difficult process to create and execute. Natural products have been noted to have much less resistance development over time from their usage despite dating back to ancient times. This project aims to test the antibacterial properties that are contained in the natural product of Matricaria Recutita through the creation of essential oil from ground-dried chamomile and the comparison to the store-bought counterpart compared to the current antibiotic treatment to identify the effectiveness in bacteria and its comparison to modern antibacterial medicine. Then testing the minimum inhibitory concentration to identify to what intensity this treatment must be used. The results will allow the possibility of natural products to be incorporated into modern medicine to fight bacteria.
