  • The study explored the antimicrobial properties of ethanol extracts from the leaves, stems, and roots of Cnidoscolus urens against multiresistant bacteria.
  • Results showed that all extracts had Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values greater than 1024 µg/mL, indicating low antimicrobial effectiveness by themselves.
  • The leaf extract demonstrated significant ability to reduce MIC values for certain bacteria when combined with gentamicin and erythromycin, suggesting it may help combat antibiotic resistance.
