A U.S. high school student, Spencer Shipman, has made a groundbreaking discovery in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. His science fair project revealed that oregano oil outperformed amoxicillin in killing bacteria, with a single drop eliminating 100% of the test sample. This remarkable finding has been attributed to the oil’s active compounds, carvacrol and thymol, which attack bacterial cell walls and disrupt DNA, making survival nearly impossible.
