A comparative study of raw garlic extract and tetracycline on caecal microflora and serum proteins of albino rats.
Studies conducted on the comparative action of raw garlic extract and tetracycline hydrochloride on equal concentrations showed the raw garlic extract to be a more potent antimicrobial agent than tetracycline. The reversion to normalcy of caecal microflora and serum proteins after the withdrawal of test materials indicated an inverse relation between intestinal microflora and serum globulins.
