Skin care products often utilize the remarkable benefits of plant-derived ingredients, which have been recognized for their antimicrobial properties. In this study, it will focus on three plant products commonly used in skincare: herbal extracts, gental (possibly a typo for "gentle" or another specific plant), and macadamia oil. The goal of the experiment is to assess their effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of bacteria, which can cause various skin issues. To conduct this, we will compare the antibacterial activity of these plant-derived products against a negative control (water) and a positive control (Ceftriaxone), a well-known antibiotic (Mounsey & Wainwright, 2021).
The methodology employs involves preparing paper disks containing the plant products and applying them to inoculated agar plates with bacterial cultures. After incubating the plates, we will measure the zones of inhibition, which are areas where bacterial growth has been inhibited, to quantify the antibacterial effects of our plant products. This experiment is set within the context of the Kirby-Bauer method, a standard procedure used to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of substances. Understanding the antimicrobial properties of these plant-derived products could have important implications for skincare formulations and broader applications in dermatological health (Smith & Jones, 2023).
Key Terms and Processes
Antimicrobial: Referring to substances that kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi.
Kirby-Bauer Test: A standardized method used to evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotics against specific bacteria by measuring zones of inhibition around antibiotic disks.
Zone of Inhibition: The clear area around a paper disk where bacteria have been unable to grow, indicating the antimicrobial effectiveness of the substance present in the disk.
Inoculation: The process of introducing bacteria onto an agar plate to form a culture for testing.
Agar Plates: Petri dishes filled with a gelatinous medium used for growing bacterial cultures.
