Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant extracts are an important alternative to antibiotics, which are ever more restricted because of their growing microbial resistance and some adverse effects that have been observed following frequent application. Among the most important properties of plants is their antimicrobial activity (which is used in medicine, agriculture, and the food industry) due to various substances produced and exuded by the them (essential oils, alkaloids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, terpenes, glycosides, saponins, etc.). Studying the antimicrobial activity of different plant extracts is very promising because they can be used as natural food preservatives or as an alternative to antimicrobial agents. Nowadays, there are many studies regarding the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of different plants. However, there are insufficient data on the antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of plant extracts from new ecological niches.
