Most of the retrieved data represented EC/LC50 values except for bacteria where MIC values were collected as more relevant for indicating the antimicrobial properties of NPs.
Thyme, rosemary, coriander, sage, spearmint, and fennel are also herbs that may have antimicrobial properties, though more research is needed.[19].[19]
The review further considers proteins or protein fragments from crustaceans that have antimicrobial properties but are more usually associated with other biological functions, or are derived from such proteins.
While nAbts alone exhibit excellent antimicrobial properties, an even more effective therapy can be engineered by combining the properties of nAbts with that of conventional antibiotics.
Piscidin 1, the more antimicrobial and hemolytic peptide, also has anti-HIV-1 and anti-cancer properties.
It is worth mentioning that N-heterocyclic quinazolines with more rigid and complicated structure were synthesized successively, some of which showed excellent antimicrobial properties.
In addition, as hepcidin exhibits broad spectrum antimicrobial properties [ 37], the knockdown of hepcidin may contribute to more severe pulmonary infections and lung injuries.
Fullerenes and more specifically, colloidal C60 aggregates (nC60) in water have been recently discovered to have beneficial antimicrobial properties [39].
