Activity of plant essential oils against antibiotic resistant Enterococcus faecalis isolated from diarrheic children

Activity of plant essential oils and their fractions was evaluated against characterized isolates of antibiotic resistant Enterococcus faecalis recovered from diarrheic children. The isolates were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting 16S rRNA gene amplification followed by nucleoti...
