| Abstract | ||
| Misuse of antibiotics has been increasing drastically since the 90s of the past century, especially after the beginning of the COVID -19 pandemic. This led to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) which increased the demand of finding natural alternatives for antibiotics that could be safely used. One of the candidates that has shown antimicrobial properties is the amniotic membrane (AM). Amniotic membrane homogenate (AMH) is one of the forms of amniotic membrane extracts (AME) that can be easily prepared and applied. In this work, we tested the antibacterial activity of bovine AMH (BAMH) against standard strains of some pathogens that have great clinical importance to humans and animals using the agar well diffusion method. | ||
