Researchers from the Botswana International University of Science and Technology evaluated the anti-microbial potential of ginger root extracts and compared their zones of inhibition against nosocomial pathogens with those of synthetic antibiotics. The results of their study were published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that their study contributes to ongoing research about alternative treatments for nosocomial infections. This could also open the door for researchers to be involved in the creation of antibiotics toward which nosocomial pathogens have no resistance.
