| pubmed-article:2088161 | pubmed:abstractText | A preliminary and anterior bacteriological study about 38 plant antidiarrheic traditional preparations, has demonstrated that 35 of them have bactericidal activity. Thirty inhibit the growth of all select germs and 5 exert this bactericidal effect on some germs.
