Researchers at Washington State University have found that a compound
in garlic is 100 times more effective than two popular antibiotics at
fighting the Campylobacter bacterium, one of the most common causes of
intestinal illness. Their work was published recently in the Journal
of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy.

The discovery opens the door to new treatments for raw and processed
meats and food preparation surfaces.

Konkel cautioned that the recent work is still at the basic stage,
well removed from an actual application. While eating garlic is a
generally healthy practice, it is unlikely to prevent Campylobacter-
related food poisoning.

However, "diallyl sulfide may be useful in reducing the levels of the
Campylobacter in the environment and to clean industrial food
processing equipment, as the bacterium is found in a biofilm in both
settings,” he said.

"Diallyl sulfide could make many foods safer to eat”, said Barbara
Rasco, a co-author on all three recent papers and Lu's advisor for his
doctorate in food science. "It can be used to clean food preparation
surfaces and as a preservative in packaged foods like potato and pasta
salads, coleslaw and deli meats.”

"This would not only extend shelf life but it would also reduce the
growth of potentially bad bacteria,” she said.
