Abstract in brief
- EGCG, a key compound in green tea, has shown potential antiinfective effects against viruses, bacteria, and fungi, with studies indicating it can interfere with virus replication and inhibit some bacterial and fungal growth.
- The antiviral activity of EGCG is effective against many viruses including HIV, influenza, hepatitis C, and DNA viruses like herpes, often working at concentrations achievable in the body, while its antibacterial effects are less potent but can enhance antibiotics, especially against resistant strains.
- Although the exact mechanisms are not fully known, EGCG likely works by binding to microbial membranes and disrupting vital processes like folic acid metabolism, suggesting promising future applications for its antimicrobial properties.]
