Screening Antifungal and Antibacterial Activity of Venom from Snake commonly Found in Iraq
Keywords:
Snake venom, Antifungal, Antibacterial Activity.Abstract
To screen antimicrobial activity of Iraqi snake venom, which consist of a divers range of proteins that identified as a potential source of therapeutics. It is unsurprising that snake venoms are being investigated for antimicrobial component due to antimicrobial resistance is becoming an increasingly sever issue.
In this study, antifungal and antibacterial activity were assessed
