The evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pathogens has prompted extensive
research to find alternative therapeutics. Plants rich with natural secondary metabolites are …

In recent years, many studies have shown that phytochemicals exert their antibacterial
activity through different mechanisms of action, such as damage to the bacterial membrane …

The global emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria is a growing threat to
antibiotic therapy. The chromosomally encoded drug efflux mechanisms that are ubiquitous …

This chapter reports the antimicrobial potential of spices and vegetable found in Africa.
Herein, methods used for antimicrobial screening are critically reviewed. The main classes …

The majority of current infectious diseases are almost untreatable by conventional antibiotic
therapy given the advent of multidrug-resistant bacteria. The degree of severity and the …

The upsurge of multiple drug resistance (MDR) bacteria substantially diminishes the
effectiveness of antibiotic arsenal and therefore intensifies the rate of therapeutic failure. The …

Background The present study was designed to investigate the antibacterial activities of the
methanol extract of three edible plants, namely Xanthosoma mafaffa, Moringa oleifera and …

In the present chapter, the synopsis of active botanicals and phytochemicals of the flora of
Africa against drug-sensitive and drug-resistant strains of bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae …

The Brazilian flora is very rich in edible fruits but only a fraction of this potential is known and
properly used. In this study, we discuss the importance of Brazilian edible fruits using data …

In the last 10 years, resistance in Gram-negative bacteria has been increasing. The present
study was designed to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activities of the methanol extracts of …
