In light of this, the current study is designed to conduct GC-MS analysis to identify the compounds in the volatile oil fraction of <i>B. polymorpha</i>. Molecular docking studies of identified molecules were conducted against target proteins of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, <i>Escherichia coli</i>, and the New Delhi Metallo(NDM)-beta-lactamase.
