“…More specifically, these stress-inducible phenolics display antibacterial activity against a number of human bacterial pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae , Streptococcus mutans , C. jejuni , E. coli , Bacillus cereus , Helicobacter pylori , Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella , Clostridium perfringens , L. monocytogenes , Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis [ 19 , 33 , 40 , 41 ]. Extracts of a variety of medicinal plants, herbs, spices, fruits, and plant-based foods have been analyzed for their antimicrobial activity against human bacterial pathogens ( Table 1 ) [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. Likewise, various pure phenolic compounds have also been analyzed for their antimicrobial activity against human bacterial pathogens ( Table 2 ) [ 35 , 42 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ].…”
