Antimicrobial Activities of the Bidens Species
摘要
There is a great history of using plants and their derivatives to treat microbial illnesses with fewer side effects. The chapter underscores the importance of exploring Bidens species for antimicrobial potential and traditional medicinal uses and highlighting important bioactive compounds responsible for their antimicrobial activity. The search for alternative methods provides an avenue to develop an affordable, stable, sustainable, and efficient system for treatment and allopathic delivery systems. This dual perspective emphasizes the value of integrating traditional knowledge with scientific research to uncover novel therapeutic agents from natural sources. The comprehensive evidence positions Bidens species as valuable candidates for further pharmacological investigations and the development of new therapeutic agents. This chapter serves as a bridge to the gap between conventional knowledge and modern scientific techniques and underscores the importance of the Bidens genus in the wide perspective of medicinal plant research.
