Journal ArticleDOI
Plants as sources of new antimicrobials and resistance-modifying agents
TL;DR: The aim of this article is to review the advances in in vitro and in vivo studies on the potential chemotherapeutic value of phytochemical products and plant extracts as RMAs to restore the efficacy of antibiotics against resistant pathogenic bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of natural antimicrobials to increase antibiotic susceptibility of drug resistant bacteria
TL;DR: Together, fractional inhibitory concentrations < or = 0.5 and log DP<-1 indicated synergistic action between four natural antimicrobials and as many as three antibiotics to which these bacteria were normally resistant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial Activity of Polyphenols and Alkaloids in Middle Eastern Plants.
TL;DR: The ability of some plant secondary metabolites to act as resistance-modifying agents is a promising field in mitigating the spread of bacterial resistance.

The challenges of overcoming antibiotic resistance: Plant extracts as potential sources of antimicrobial and resistance modifying agents
Thulani Sibanda,Anthony I. Okoh +1 more
TL;DR: The search for new antimicrobial compounds which can be combined with antibiotics in the treatment of drug resistant infections may be an alternative to overcoming the problem of resistance in bacteria.

A modern look at folkloric use of anti-infective agents
TL;DR: This review focuses upon the present status of antimicrobial agents from higher plants with particular reference to agents from plants with a folkloric reputation for treatment of infections, and concludes that the possibility of finding additional agents for human or agricultural use based upon higher plant agents is realistic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of the phenolic acids fractions of Scrophularia frutescens and Scrophularia sambucifolia
TL;DR: The phenolic fractions of aerial part of Scrophularia frutescens and S. sambucifolia showed a potent antib bacterial activity and the presence of these compounds in the two plants explains their antibacterial activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypericin and Pseudohypericin: Pharmacokinetics and Effects on Photosensitivity in Humans
TL;DR: Doses used in this study were higher than typical doses in current commercial preparations, frequency of side effects was equal to placebo medication and UV light sensitivity was not or only marginally increased, and there was no correlation between total hypericin plasma concentrations and photosensitivity.
