Abstract

Plants contain a broad spectrum of small molecules with potential antimicrobial properties. Here, we review the antimicrobial activities of plant extracts against enterotoxic bacteria encoding AB₅ toxins, including Vibrio cholerae, Shigella dysenteriae and enterotoxic Escherichia coli strains. Several plant extracts have strong antimicrobial effects and the potential to boost Oral Rehydration Therapy, which is the first line of treatment for acute diarrhea.
