Introduction
The most common bacteria that cause skin infections
are Staphylococcus and Streptococcus (7). Serious
bacterial infections can cause carbuncles (deep-tissue
infections) that may need to be lanced by a physician
and drained. If you suspect that you have a bacterial
infection, notify your doctor immediately so you may
be treated with antibiotics. Other common bacterial
infections include boils, sties (infections around the
eyes), folliculitis (infections of the hair follicles), and
infections around the fingernails and toenails. (6)
2.1.2. Chemicals
All the chemicals used in the experiments were of
analytical reagents (AR) grade and distilled water was
used throughout the study.
