Membrane Damage: The oil-soluble nature of many oficin derivatives allows them to effortlessly penetrate the protective fatty layers of the bacterial cell membrane, causing severe structural and functional damage that leads to cell lysis (rupture).📈 BROAD SPECTRUM REACH: The Definitive Antimicrobial ScopeThe numerical claim of “14 bacteria and 13 infections” is a helpful popular tool, but the scientific literature confirms a scope of activity so vast it encompasses bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites alike.🔬 TARGETING BACTERIA: Gram Positive and Gram NegativeGarlic compounds have been extensively studied in vitro (in the lab) and have demonstrated powerful efficacy against a diverse range of bacterial strains, covering both major classifications.Gram Positive Bacteria: The Surface ThreatsThis group includes pathogens responsible for many skin, lung, and soft tissue infections. Garlic has shown potent inhibitory activity against:Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA): The formidable Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), one of the most feared multidrug-resistant superbugs, has shown significant susceptibility to allicin and its derivatives in numerous studies. This is a critical finding in the global search for natural alternatives to failing antibiotics.Streptococcus species: Pathogens responsible for conditions such as strep throat and certain types of pneumonia.Enterococcus faecalis:
