TL;DR
Neisseria gonorrhoeae clinical isolates and World Health Organization strains were sensitive to extracts of Ocimum sanctum, Drynaria quercifolia, and Annona squamosa, and the active component/second from the 3 plants was isolated.
Abstract
Neisseria gonorrhoeae clinical isolates and WHO strains were sensitive to extracts of Ocimum sanctum, Drynaria quercifolia, and Annona squamosa. This motivates us to isolate the active component/second from the 3 plants.
