• Garlic essential oil extracted from raw bulbs had a good antibacterial action against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli.
• Garlic essential oil suppresses the fungal pathogen Penicillium funiculosum, presumably by infiltrating membranes and compartments, disrupting the cytoskeleton, and causing cytoplasmic and biomolecules leaks.
• A. sativum and its potent organosulfur components have been shown to promote antiviral activity by interacting with components on the exterior of the virion. This results in partial inhibition or complete blocking of the virus entry step (3).
