Abstract :

In history, various cultures and civilizations had been applied garlic to prevent infections throughout many centuries. It could be used as raw juice, powders and capsules by means of dietary complements, so it differs from elements of food or conventional foods. It displays antibiotics activities against microorganisms, especially bacterial strains which have become resistant to antibiotics. Therefore, natural origins of antibiotics resemble cheap and effective choice for resistant strains. Because of garlic impressive antimicrobial effectiveness against multiple microbial infections, it is necessary to highlight its role in reduction of some physiological characteristics of bacteria that can cause many infections.
