Medicinal plants are linked to antibiotics because their bioactive chemicals serve as precursors for antibiotic synthesis [1] and are actively researched for the development of new antimicrobial treatments [2]. Furthermore, these plants are evaluated for their potential to combat multidrug-resistant microorganisms [3] and address the mechanisms of bacterial resistance [4].
