Abstract
The bacterial uropathogens exhibit drug resistance due to misuse and/or inadequate use of antimicrobial agents. Essential oils derived from aromatic medicinal plants have been reported have antimicrobial effects against bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, and viruses. This study was carried out to determine the in vitro antibacterial activity, minimum inhibitory concentration of Ocimum suave (Willd) essential oils against bacterial uropathogens.
A cross sectional and experimental study was carried out in six selected hospitals in Bushenyi District, Uganda.
