Humans have utilized the bioactive principles of different plants
for various beneficial physiological properties including
antimicrobial properties for many centuries. However, interests of
using medicinal plants declined in the 20th century with the
availability of effective synthetic antimicrobial drugs. The
development of microbial resistance to various drugs has
accelerated research interests towards the use of phytochemicals as
alternatives to synthetic drugs in the recent years. This book
presents an comprehensive reviews on the antimicrobial and
antiviral properties of numerous recently reported phytochemicals,
and their mechanisms of antimicrobial actions. Some of the chapters
have critically discussed the beneficial and adverse effects of
antibacterial, and stimulatory activities of dietary phytochemicals
on rumen microbial populations, and gut microbial populations of
humans and animals. Microbial adaptation and resistance of microbes
to phytochemicals has also been highlighted. On the applied apects,
the use of phytochemicals against drug resistance microbes, to
treat microbial diseases, for food preservation, to inhibit
methanogenic archaea in the rumen, and to modulate lipid
biohydrogenating microbial populations to increase conjugated
linoleic acids in animal-derived foods have been presented in
different chapters.
