antimicrobial

2 articles

Antimicrobial research in plant science investigates compounds that inhibit or destroy harmful microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens. Many plants produce secondary metabolites — such as essential oils and phenolic compounds — that exhibit potent antimicrobial properties, serving as natural defenses against infection. Understanding these plant-derived antimicrobials is valuable both for crop protection and as a source of novel agents to address growing antibiotic resistance challenges.
