Is antibiotic resistance hiding in our bodies? Plant essential oils as potential antimicrobial agents against human multidrug resistance microorganisms

One of the most important problems in public health is the emergence of multi resistant antibiotics bacteria and the lack of treatments for infections caused by those microorganisms. Although it was believed that this germs were only associated to nosocomial and perhaps community acquired infections...
