Lemongrass exhibits significant antibacterial and antiviral properties. It is effective against Escherichia coli and anaerobic bacteria, as well as against Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, the citrals it contains act as effective antivirals against herpes viruses I and II, influenza A H9N2, and the yellow fever virus. It is also active against Helicobacter pylori and Candida albicans.
