- Additional information
- Demonstrated the use of natural antimicrobial agents in the fight against disease causing pathogens. Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Mill) gel has been successfully incorporated into cotton fabrics and it is evidenced that the antibacterial effectiveness of the treated fabric against pathogenic bacteria is due to the destruction of bacterial cell wall, bactericidal effect rather than bacteriostatic.
