Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli are frequently studied together as multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens that pose significant health challenges [1] and are common targets for antimicrobial research involving bioactive plant compounds {fact:2, fact:4, fact:5, fact:6, fact:7, fact:11}. They are also commonly tested together in in vitro studies to evaluate the efficacy of various plant extracts {fact:8, fact:9, fact:10, fact:12} and are both susceptible to the inhibitory effects of compounds like berberine [2].
