evolution of new strains of disease causing agents, are of great concern to the
global health community. Nowadays, reports have indicated that </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">many of </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">healthcare-associated,
antimicrobial-resistant bacteria</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">are not only multidrug resistant pathogens but also broadly
drug-resistant and pandrug-resistant bacteria</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Objective</span></b></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">This study is focused on exploring the antimicrobial
properties of </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">five different</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> plants that are commonly being used as traditional medicines</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> in Yemen against </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Gram positive</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Gram negative bacteria</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">and</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">fungi. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Methods</span></b><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:</span></b><b><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The antimicrobial potential of </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">five </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">different plant extracts was
