Clinical trials:
Small studies have shown that garlic exerts
antimicrobial activity against gram-positive
and gram-negative bacteria, viruses, fungi, and
parasites. Topical and dietary garlic traditionally has been used in the treatment of infections—particularly digestive, respiratory, and
derma-tologic infections—ranging from diarrhea and vaginitis to colds and warts, but few
good clinical studies support this use.
