1. Bacterial infection : Plant part used: seed. Documented pharmacological profile: Ampicilline-like.
   (2020) : Ethanol extract of Chia seeds were tested against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25925), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25923), Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 02026), Aeromonas hydrophila (ATCC 95080), Candida albicans (ATCC 14053), Candida tropicalis (ATCC 1369), & Candida glabrata (ATCC 15126) using broth microdilution method. Therefore, this study aims to investigate anti(myco)bacterial, antifungal, & antiproliferative activities of Chia seeds. Selon Motyka S (2023) : All tested extracts exhibited considerable antibacterial & antifungal activity.
2. Fungal : Plant part used: seed. Documented pharmacological profile: Fluconazole-like.
   (2020) : Ethanol extract of Chia seeds were tested against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25925), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25923), Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 02026), Aeromonas hydrophila (ATCC 95080), Candida albicans (ATCC 14053), Candida tropicalis (ATCC 1369), & Candida glabrata (ATCC 15126) using broth microdilution method. Ampicillin, Ethambutol, Isoniazid, & Fluconazole were chosen as reference drugs. Selon Motyka S (2023) : All tested extracts exhibited considerable antibacterial & antifungal activity.
3. Bacterial infection : Plant part used: seed. Documented pharmacological profile: Ethambutol-like, Isoniazide-like.
   (2020) : Antimycobacterial activity was performed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using resazurin microtiter plate method. Therefore, this study aims to investigate anti(myco)bacterial, antifungal, & antiproliferative activities of Chia seeds. Selon Motyka S (2023) : All tested extracts exhibited considerable antibacterial & antifungal activity.
