Abstract/Description
This is an in-work presentation. This study serves as a continuation of my series looking at the physical and mental applications in plant-based medicine. This study is also being run concurrently with my study in the psychology department. In which I am looking at the effect of plants on mental health. In this section, I am looking at the effects marigold extract has on certain bacteria commonly found in humans and animals, such as E. Coli and MRSA. At the time of the presentation, the extract will still be working on attacking some of the bacteria. This study is in collaboration with Ms. Maria Cook in the Pre-Vet/Vet-Tech department. Final findings will be put into another presentation and presented in the Spring Scholars' Week and at the Kentucky Fruit and Vegetable Conference in January 2026.
