In Silico and In Vitro Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Potential of <i>Bacillus cereus</i> Isolated from <i>Apis dorsata</i> Gut against <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>

Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health and development concern on a global scale. The increasing resistance of the pathogenic bacteria <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> to antibiotics necessitates efforts to identify potential alternative antibiotics from nature, including insects,...
