What is it about?
The work entitled "Epilobi Hirsuti Herba Extracts Influence the In Vitro Activity of Usual Antibiotics on Standard Bacteria" demonstrates antimicrobial in vitro activity of several whole and selective Epilobi hirsuti herba (ethanolic) extracts as well as their capacity to influence the antimicrobial potency of some usual antibiotics such as Ampicillin, Gentamicin, Tetracycline, Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim, Ciprofloxacin and Cefoxitine.

Why is it important?
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most important nowadays health concern. For example, ACDC (American Centers for Disease Control) has reported over 2 million illnesses and 23000 deaths caused by drug-resistant bacteria in USA in 2013, thus proving the global scale of this health problem. Therefore, finding new active substances, which can be a starting point as potential agents in the management of microbial resistance is of great importance, even more so if they are natural compounds.
