Recent research has confirmed and quantified that whole extracts of Garlic and Ginger have the
ability to stop several species of multi-drug resistant bacteria.
The newest research comes from Italy's University of Pisa. The researchers tested garlic against
the infective bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.
The research found that all three bacteria species were inhibited by the Garlic extract, which was
taken from fresh Garlic bulbs.
This research confirmed another recent study published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical
Biomedicine, and conducted by researchers from King Saud University and India's Rangasamy
College.
This study focused on seven of the most dangerous superbugs called MDRs or multidrug
resistant bacteria. These included E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella
pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcus cloacae and Bacillus subtilis.
The particular strains used in the study were some of the most multi-drug resistant strains known.
Some of the bacteria strains tested against the Garlic and Ginger were resistant to more than 10
different antibiotics. These antibiotics included ampicillin, amoxicillin, amikacin, cephalothin,
chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, clindamycin, co-trimoxazole, erythromycin,
Both Garlic and Ginger have been used for centuries to combat infections of different types. The
use of these herbs has crossed over many traditional medicines around the world as well.
