Busting the Resistance: Antimicrobial Activity of Plant-Infused Nanoemulsions against Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

ABSTRACT: The escalating antibiotic resistance rates in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae) are now a grave concern. There is a critical need for alternative treatment options for infection since N. gonorrhoeae has developed resistance to multiple antibiotics used for treatment. In this study, plant nanoemulsions from Ocimum tenuiflorum, Moringa oleifera, and Azadirachta indica were tested for their antimicrobial properties against N. gonorrhoeae. The study also assessed the toxicity of these plant nanoemulsions using human erythrocytes. The plants were sourced from the Botanical Gardens in Durban, South Africa. Nanoemulsions were produced from the dried plants using established methods. The nanoemulsion-based plant extracts were tested against lab
