An antimicrobial composition, including a synergistic combination of three or more potentiating agents as an active ingredient. Each of the three or more potentiating agents may be selected from the following types of compounds: sequestering agents, carbohydrates, terpenes, terpenoids, peptides, alkaloids, plant-derived oils, dyes and stains, sulfonates, phenols, esters, fatty acids, and dibenzofuran derivatives. At least two of the three or more potentiating agents are not of the same type of compound. The antimicrobial composition may have strong antimicrobial efficacy in control of microorganisms having resistance to currently used antimicrobials. |
