Botanical Extracts and Compounds of Plants and Methods of Use: US20190125818A1 - The United States Patent Evaluation.

Background: Bacterial infections are increasingly difficult to combat, which makes them a threat to public health on a global level. is considered one of the main causes of infections in hospitals, as it has a variety of virulence factors, as well as is able to produce bacterial biofilms, which, consequently, bring numerous damages to public health as a result of increased resistance to conventional antibiotics and a longer hospital stay. Therefore, the use of compounds extracted from medicinal plants is a potential pharmaceutically acceptable target, as they do not have toxicity and the potential to disrupt biofilms produced by already evidenced, thus revealing their relevance to our study.
