referenceGonelimali et al. investigated the antimicrobial properties and mechanisms of action of various plant extracts against food pathogens and spoilage microorganisms.
claimResistance is more probable to emerge against isolated plant chemicals used as single-molecule antibiotics compared to the use of entire plant extracts, which present a diminished risk of resistance due to their intricate compositions.
referenceAgarwal P, Agarwal N, Gupta R, Gupta M, and Sharma B published a 2016 study in the Journal of Microbial & Biochemical Technology titled 'Antibacterial activity of plants extracts against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis', which evaluates plant extracts against specific resistant bacteria.
referencePallah et al. explored the use of plant extracts to combat ESKAPE pathogens.
claimPlant extracts frequently demonstrate antimicrobial activity via multiple pathways, unlike conventional medicines that typically target a singular bacterial route.
referenceSaquib et al. (2021) investigated the synergistic antibacterial activity of herbal extracts combined with antibiotics against bacteria responsible for periodontitis.

claimMcMurray et al. (2020) demonstrated that four plant extracts from traditional Chinese medicinal plants possess antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella enterica subsp enterica serovar Enteritidis.
claimPlant extracts exhibit antibacterial effects on human microbial pathogens, as documented in a 2012 study by Sapkota et al.
claimThe complexity of plant extracts, specifically a higher diversity of bioactive chemicals, correlates with reduced selective pressure for resistance because it complicates the adaptation of microorganisms.
procedureHigh-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a method used to isolate, identify, and evaluate bioactive components in plant extracts.
claimVarious plant extracts demonstrate antibacterial activity against clinical pathogens, as reported by Qader et al. in 2013.
referenceSaad AM, Mohamed AS, El-Saadony MT, Sitohy MZ. authored 'Palatable functional cucumber juices supplemented with polyphenols-rich herbal extracts' published in LWT in 2021.
claimThe destabilization and rupture of bacterial cellular membranes by plant extracts can be driven by ionic or electrostatic interactions as the extract is administered into the bilayer surface.
claimCertain plant extracts may include elevated levels of specific chemicals, which can intensify selective pressure for resistance.
claimProlonged and repeated exposure to plant extracts may elevate the chance of resistance development, as extended exposure offers increased opportunity for microorganisms to adapt and evolve.
