claimPyrus salicifolia (willow-leaved pear), originating from Asia, demonstrated in vitro antimicrobial activities against Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pumalis, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus.
claimClove extract exhibits antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
claimOriganum vulgare (oregano), native to the Mediterranean, Europe, and Asia, demonstrated in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria including Aeromonas hydrophila, Citrobacter sp., Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Flavobacterium sp., Klebsiella spp., Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella spp., Serratia marcescens, and Shigella dysenteriae.
claimThe antimicrobial activity of climbing acacia and java cedar against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species is attributed to electrostatic interactions between positively charged secondary metabolites and negatively charged bacterial cell membranes.
