The development of antibiotic resistance by bacteria that
threaten human health has become a major clinical
problem worldwide
This has prompted the search for
new antimicrobial substances from other sources, including
plants (Ahmad & Beg, 2001; Bennett, 2008)
In this
context, the present study evaluated the antibacterial action
of the resin-oil of P. elliottii and its major compound DA
against multiresistant bacteria.
