- Abstract
Drug-resistant pathogens are the main cause of health-associated infections. They continue to significant infections, increase mortality of hospitalized patients and also have a negative financial impact. Taking into consideration those factors, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds with low toxicity, specific activity, and high bioavailability to combat them. In this way, have increased the attention on medicinal plants and their bioactive compound with antimicrobial properties. This review evaluates the antimicrobial activities of different Carthamus tinctorius (safflower) extracts from seeds, leaves, and flowers against nosocomial pathogens. The study concludes that safflower different extracts might be used against multidrug-resistant microbes that cause nosocomial and communityacquired infections.
