Infectious diseases are a medical condition caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi.
Most cases of infectious diseases are contagious by spreading directly or indirectly, from one person to another.
In other words, if you kiss, or are coughed or sneezed on by an infectious person, you are at risk of developing the same infectious disease.
After entering the body, the organisms selectively find a specific tissue or organ to start their multiplication.
However, the acquired infectious diseases can also be caused by ingesting contaminated food or water or being exposed to organisms in the environment.
According to the statistics provided by the World Health Organization, 3 infectious diseases were ranked in the top ten causes of death worldwide in 2016.
More precisely, lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, and tuberculosis induced 3.0 million, 1.4 million, and 1.3 million deaths, respectively.
Antibiotics are a group of conventional medicines used for the treatment of bacterial, fungal parasitic,... infection.
Most organisms before having a chance to induce infection are killed off by the immune system response in the acute phase of infection, by stimulating the production of a proinflammatory cytokine.

On finding a natural compound for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, researchers examined the antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extracts of Tussilago farfara L.
Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant, genus Tussilago, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia. The herb has been used over thousands of years to treat asthma, various coughs, bronchial congestion, respiratory disorders, headaches and obstruction in the nasal passage, etc.
Selected strains of bacteria such as Escherichia coli CCM 3988, Serratia rubidea CCM 4684, Staphylococcus epidermis CC 4418, Lactobacillus rhamnosus CCM 1828, Pseudomonas aeroginosa CCM 1960 and Enterococcus raffinosus CCM 4216 were used in the examination.
However, on the micro broth dilution technique, the ethanolic extract exerted a significant effect against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Serratia rubidaea.
In other words, the ethanolic extract of Tussilago farfara L. demonstrated a strong anti-microbial property against all the strains used in the study.

Taken altogether, coltsfoot may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of microbial infections, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
