- Abstract
This document, titled "Exploring Plant Extracts as a Novel Frontier in Antimicrobial Innovation: Plant Extracts and Antimicrobials," provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in plant-derived antimicrobials. The collection of studies presented in this special issue highlights the potential of various plant extracts and compounds in addressing microbial threats. The studies cover a range of topics, including the production and industrial applications of plant compounds with antimicrobial properties. Notable findings include the antifungal properties of a mushroom extract, the antimicrobial efficacy of an ethanol extract derived from Origanum onites, and the potential of hop extracts and Tamarix aphylla in controlling phytopathogens. Other studies explore the use of plant extracts as natural preservatives and the antimicrobial properties of essential oils. The document concludes by emphasizing the need for further research to refine our understanding of microbial pathogenicity and sustainable practices for large-scale production of plant-derived antimicrobials.
