This research delves into the intriguing realm of Petiveria alliacea, a plant known for its traditional medicinal uses. Specifically, our study explores the antimicrobial potential of Petiveria alliacea stem extract and elucidates the underlying mechanism of its action. Through a series of comprehensive experiments and analyses, we uncover the broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities of the extract against various pathogenic microorganisms. Furthermore, we investigate the molecular mechanisms through which Petiveria alliacea stem extract exerts its antimicrobial effects, shedding light on its potential as a source of novel antimicrobial agents. These findings hold promise for both traditional medicine and modern pharmaceutical research, offering new avenues for combating infectious diseases and drug-resistant pathogens.
