Implication

Phytochemical analysis reveals significant antimicrobial activity in Ganoderma lucidum against selected bacteria and fungi, suggesting therapeutic potential.

Key Points

  • Ganoderma lucidum showed significant inhibitory effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, indicating its potential use in medical applications.
  • GC–MS analysis identified 44 compounds in methanol extracts that could contribute to antimicrobial activities.
  • Antimicrobial testing demonstrated that Ganoderma lucidum extracts effectively combat certain pathogens while showing resistance to others, highlighting variability in effectiveness.
  • Findings support exploring Ganoderma lucidum as an alternative therapy against antimicrobial resistance in clinical settings.
