We investigated the antibacterial activities of blowfly larvae induced by natural infection and found that infected larvae had better antibacterial capacities than sterile larvae.
Phytochemicals from locally available plants demonstrated antibacterial activity.
ABSTRACT
Objective: The sesquiterpene, mikanolide, was found to possess antibacterial activity. As a result, a structure-activity relationship study was carried out on mikanolide and eleven of its derivatives.
