Significance of Antimicrobial activity
Antimicrobial activity refers to the capacity of various substances to inhibit or kill microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Research highlights the effectiveness of different plant extracts, including Cudrania tricuspidata and Gokshura, in restraining the growth of harmful microbes like Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Additionally, bioactive compounds in substances like horse gram and lemon flavonoids showcase potential benefits in combating infections. This capacity for antimicrobial action is essential in both natural remedies and developing new therapeutic agents.
