Description
Huanxin Zhou and co-authors review in 2026 whether plants can help fight drug-proof germs. Bacteria now shrug off more and more standard drugs, and new drug finds have slowed. Plant chemicals work in unlike ways and may team up with drugs in use today.
The review first maps how germs resist: enzymes that break drugs, changed targets, tighter skins, and pumps that push drugs out. Plant groups such as flavonoids and alkaloids are then judged as multi-way agents. Cited work shows film breaking, pump blocking, and help that makes old drugs work on proof strains once more. The authors frame plants as a partner to current drugs, not a swap. Proof in patients and firm dosing rules still lie ahead.
