While these findings echo previous studies on the antimicrobial potential of plant-based ingredients, they further emphasize the insights gained specifically from gentian and macadamia oil in the context of skincare applications. Despite the observed antibacterial activity of herbal treatments, the results reinforce the dominant efficacy of established antibiotics, particularly gentamicin, in combatting more serious bacterial infections. Nevertheless, the potential influence of confounding factors—such as variations in bacterial strains, concentrations of treatments, and environmental variables—suggests a need for cautious interpretation of the results.

Using the information given above, provide a reference and in-text citation

1 answer

Here’s how you could format a reference and in-text citation based on the information provided:

Reference: Author(s). (Year). Title of the study. Journal Name, Volume(Issue), Page range. URL or DOI (if applicable).

(Note: Specific details such as the author(s), title, journal name, volume, issue, and pages are not provided in your text and should be filled in based on the actual source.)

In-text citation: (Author(s), Year)

For example, if the details were as follows:

  • Authors: Smith, J., & Doe, A.
  • Year: 2023
  • Title: Evaluating the Antimicrobial Potential of Gentian and Macadamia Oil in Skincare
  • Journal: Journal of Botanical Research
  • Volume: 12
  • Issue: 4
  • Pages: 345-356

You would write:

Reference: Smith, J., & Doe, A. (2023). Evaluating the antimicrobial potential of gentian and macadamia oil in skincare. Journal of Botanical Research, 12(4), 345-356. https://doi.org/10.xxxxxx

In-text citation: (Smith & Doe, 2023)

Please replace the placeholder information with the actual citation details relevant to the study you are referencing.
