Correlation between Antimicrobial Activity Values and Total Phenolic Content/Antioxidant Activity in Rubus idaeus L.

Researchers found that raspberry plant parts contain antibacterial compounds. Leaves, inflorescences, and fruits can combat Gram-positive bacteria. Root and seed extracts show lower activity. Using natural alternatives could replace synthetic antibiotics, offering economic and environmental benefits.
