- - A study focused on isolating endophytes from the medicinal plant *Artemisia nilagirica* in the Western Ghats of India identified various bacterial strains, including *Chromobacterium violaceum* and *Burkholderia sp.*, which showed significant antibacterial properties against human pathogens.
- - The isolated strains displayed characteristics like pleomorphism and multidrug resistance, allowing them to survive in diverse environmental conditions while producing enzymes such as protease and lipase, which are essential for their adaptation.
- - The findings suggest that the antimicrobial compounds derived from these endophytes could be developed into effective antimicrobial formulations for potential medical applications.
