Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice 15 (2009) 5-7
Antibiotic agents have been in widespread and largely effective therapeutic use since their discovery in the 20th century. However, with the emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogens now presents an increasing global challenge to both human and veterinary medicine. It is now widely acknowledged that there is a need to develop novel antimicrobial agents to minimize the threat of further antimicrobial resistance, With this in mind, a study was undertaken to examine the antimicrobial properties of aqueous extracts of “exotic” Shitake and Oyster mushrooms on a range of environmental and clinically important microorganisms.
