Plant-Based Antimicrobial Studies – Methods and Approaches to Study the Interaction between Natural Products
TL;DR: It is recommended for future development in the field of phytosynergy that consideration should be given to the selection criteria for the two inhibitors of synergistic interactions, and a more conservative approach should be adopted when classifying synergy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiofilm activity of essential oils and plant extracts against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli biofilms
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that coriander EO had the highest antibiofilm activity against biofilm formed by both tested bacteria (S. aureus and E. coli) at lowest MIC value 0.8 μl/ml and 1.6 μL/ml, respectively, indicating further investigations due to the oil's high antibioFilm activity potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial, antioxidant and tyrosinase-inhibition activities of pomegranate fruit peel methanolic extract
TL;DR: It is suggested that pomegranate fruit peel could be exploited as a potential source of natural antimicrobial and antioxidant agents as well as tyrosinase inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial Plant Metabolites: Structural Diversity and Mechanism of Action
TL;DR: This review tries to give a critical answer to why there are still no commercially available or commonly used antibiotics of plant origin by considering potential mechanisms of antimicrobial action of PSMs, as well as their physical and chemical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro activity of eighteen essential oils and some major components against common postharvest fungal pathogens of fruit
TL;DR: Thyme oil proved to be the most effective inhibitor, totally inhibiting all of the pathogens tested at concentrations of 1000 μl/l and lower, with the exception of a resistant Penicillium strain.

Essential oils: their antibacterial properties and potential applications in foods--a review.
TL;DR: In vitro studies have demonstrated antibacterial activity of essential oils (EOs) against Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Shigella dysenteria, Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus at levels between 0.2 and 10 microl ml(-1).
Journal ArticleDOI
A sensitive and quick microplate method to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration of plant extracts for bacteria
TL;DR: A micro-dilution technique was developed using 96-well microplates and tetrazolium salts to indicate bacterial growth and was useful in screening plants for antimicrobial activity and for the bioassay-guided isolation of antimicrobial compounds from plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medicinal plants: Traditions of yesterday and drugs of tomorrow
TL;DR: An overview of the classes of molecules present in plants is provided and some examples of the types of molecules and secondary metabolites that have led to the development of these pharmacologically active extracts are given.

Antibacterial and antifungal properties of essential oils.
Danuta Kalemba,A. Kunicka +1 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews the classical methods commonly used for the evaluation of essential oils antibacterial and antifungal activities and finds essential oils of spices and herbs were found to possess the strongest antimicrobial properties among many tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medicinal plants and antimicrobial activity.
TL;DR: The past, present and future of medicinal plants are analyzed, both as potential antimicrobial crude drugs as well as a source for natural compounds that act as new anti-infection agents.
