Cover Story: Bacterial resistance continues to be one of the most urgent current public health threats. Nature’s potent defenders against infection, plant secondary metabolites, are increasingly studied for their potential to fight multi-drug resistant pathogens, either as a standalone therapy or in combination with other conventional or novel treatments. We explore the potential challenges and opportunities that arise when plant secondary metabolites are used in conjunction with cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) therapy and present the possible synergistic and antagonistic effects that can arise from the interplay between these therapies. View this paper
