  • Title: [Antibacterial activity of species of the genus Allium].
    Author: Didry N, Pinkas M, Dubreuil L.
    Journal: Pharmazie; 1987 Oct; 42(10):687-8. PubMed ID: 3438321.
    Abstract:
    Garlic, onion and shallot were tested for antimicrobial activity against pathogenic aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The MIC of aqueous and petroleum ether extracts were determined. Garlic showed the greater activity; the combination garlic-antibiotic is synergistic against Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and leads to indifference against anaerobic bacteria. The active constituent is not probably allicin alone.
