Antibacterial susceptibility of staphylococcus aureus, salmonella typhi, bacillus subtilis and escherichia coli to snail slime.

Background: The emanation of multi-drugs resistant microorganisms and the challenges faced in combating multi-drug resistant infections is a public health issue and this has increased the search for effective antibiotics from natural sources.

Objectives: This work aims to determine the susceptibility of some pathogenic bacterial species to snail slime.

Methods: The antibacterial activity of aqueous and ethanolic snail slime extracts were investigated against and using the agar well diffusion method.
