Allicin is the antibiotic present in garlic.
Answer:
Garlic's antibiotic properties have been more extensively studied than some of its other reputed health benefits. Louis Pasteur analyzed garlic's use as an antibacterial back in the nineteenth century and showed how it killed bacteria under laboratory conditions. Numerous modern studies confirm that garlic has definite antibiotic properties and is effective against many bacteria, fungi and viruses. According to Wright State University , garlic is approximately one per cent as potent an antibiotic as penicillin.
Some people have reported that even blood from a garlic eater can itself kill bacteria!
Researchers have compared the effectiveness of garlic with that of commercial prescription antibiotics. The result is often that garlic can be more effective as a broad spectrum antibiotic. However if a particular bacterium or virus is being treated a more specifically targeted antibiotic if available could be a more effective treatment than garlic.
One significant advantage of garlic is that the body does not seem to build up a resistance to it as it does to many modern antibiotics. This also makes it potentially effective against hospital superbugs .
Note: Garlic can interfere with the operation of some medical drugs, in particular anti-coagulants. I do not suggest taking garlic as a precaution before entering hospital unless you discuss it with your doctor first.
The antibiotic properties of garlic are a direct result of the allicin produced from raw, crushed garlic. This is destroyed by age and cooking - cooked garlic has virtually no antibiotic value although it still retains other benefits.
I do not advocate using garlic as a replacement for conventional medical antibiotics unless concurred with your doctor - peronally I treat any antibiotic properties of garlic as a bonus of eating it, not a reason to do so. However as more and more antibiotics are becoming almost useless due to over-prescription and side effects, garlic could one day have a part to play in modern medicine.
