Their work focuses on exploring natural substances as alternatives to conventional antibiotics, specifically testing their effectiveness in inhibiting or killing E. coli bacteria in a well-designed experimental setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Future stars<\/strong><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The young scientists scored highly on their curiosity and the ongoing development of their idea.
