        abstract = {This study explores the antimicrobial potential of four medicinal plants, in response to the increasing threat of antibiotic resistance in human pathogens. Methanol and ethanol and aqueous extracts of these plants were tested against seven bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas fluorescence and Proteus vulgaris. Using the agar well diffusion method, the extracts antimicrobial activity was evaluated by measuring the zone of inhibition. Results showed that the methanolic extracts demonstrated greater antibacterial activity compared to the ethanolic extracts. Aqueous extract of Alium sativum showed antimicrobial activity. These findings suggest that plant extracts with antimicrobial properties as therapeutic agents, offering a potential solution against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.},
