With the rise of antimicrobial resistance, plant extracts offer promising alternatives for developing new antimicrobial agents. This book deals with the antimicrobial activities of various plant extracts, detailing their mechanisms of action against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. It explores the phytochemical constituents responsible for these effects and discusses methods for extraction and isolation. Designed for microbiologists, pharmacognosists, and pharmaceutical researchers, the book highlights the potential of plant-based antimicrobials in combating infectious diseases.
John Smith investigates the antimicrobial properties of plant extracts for treating bacterial, fungal, and viral skin infections. His research focuses on identifying plant-based substances that can effectively combat pathogens causing conditions like acne and dermatitis. John has published extensively on the use of natural antimicrobials in dermatological therapies. He offers guidelines for clinicians to incorporate plant extracts as safe and effective antimicrobial agents in skin treatments.
