Evaluation of the antibacterial activity of selected antibacterial soaps and raw plants on clinical isolates of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus

Soap is a cleansing agent generated by the chemical reaction of a fatty acid with an alkali metal hydroxide. Chemically verbalizing, it is a salt composed of an alkali metal, such as sodium or potassium, and a mixture of "fatty" carboxylic acids. The cleansing action of soap approaches fro...
