“…Garlic extracts provided an inhibition of coagulase reaction (Fletcher, Parker, & Hassett, 1974), while Nepeta cataria was cited to cause a suppression of some virulence factors of S. aureus (Nostro, Marino, Crisafi, Germano, & Cannatelli, 2000). The extract of Helichrysum italicum reduced the activity of DNAse, coagulase, thermonuclease and lipase of S. aureus ATCC 6538 (Nostro et al, 2001).…”

“…Aristotle and Hippocrates called attention to the healing powers of garlic, and Pasteur mentioned its medicinal and antibacterial properties (7). In addition to its well-documented antibacterial properties (11,12,15,19,20), garlic has also been found to be antifungal (2,5,6,13,14,16,18), antiprotozoal (3), and insecticidal (4).…”

Thirty strains of mycobacteria, consisting of 17 species, were inhibited by various concentrations of garlic extract incorporated in Middlebrook 7H10 agar. The concentration required ranged from a low of 1.34 mg/ml to a high of 3.35 mg/ml of media. When there were multiple strains of a species, a mean inhibitory concentration was determined for that species. Six strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis required a mean inhibitory concentration of 1.67 mg/ml of media.

Plants have been used medicinally throughout history. Before the beginning of the 19th century, many herbs were considered conventional medicines and were included in medical curricula and formularies. In the United States two important factors fostered a schism between the use of mainstream drugs and herbal therapies: (1) the development of a pharmaceutical industry and (2) the formation of the Food and Drug Administration which created regulatory changes. It is estimated that nearly 80% of the world's population use plants as drugs and one in three Americans use some type of herbal remedy. Consumer interest in "natural" therapies is on the rise in the U.S. and elsewhere and corporate researchers are searching for new drugs among ancient remedies and new classes of compounds to combat infectious diseases worldwide. Infectious diseases continue to be the foremost cause of death worldwide. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a 58 percent rise in deaths from infectious diseases since 1980. Recent outbreaks underscore the potential for sudden appearance of infectious diseases in currently unaffected world populations. What can be done to determine which natural alternatives are relatively safe, efficaLinda L. Nolan is affiliated with the
