Re: Why does garlic kill E. Coli?

Hi, I didn't find what antimicrobial agent in garlic was responsible for destroying E. coli. Plants contain a lot of different constituants whose properties are still poorly known. But as a complement to your research, I found a study done at Kansas State University that concluded that garlic powder added to ground meat can provide protection against E. coli. That study was reported in many newspapers and on TV.
Good luck.
