        abstract = {Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global health concern, prompting exploration of alternative therapies such as plant-derived essential oils. This study evaluated and compared the antimicrobial activity of chili seed oil and anise seed oil against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans using the agar well diffusion method. Both oils inhibited all tested pathogens, with anise seed oil demonstrating consistently larger zones of inhibition. These results highlight the potential of anise and chili seed oils as natural antimicrobial agents for possible pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications.},
