Alpha-tocopherol shows broad-spectrum anti-microbial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli, against the Rifampicin-resistant, Isoniazid-resistant and multi-drugresistant strains of M tuberculosis, against Pseudomonas, against Staphylococci and against Escherichia coli. Further, the antimicrobial activity of known anti-tubercular pharmaceuticals can be improved by administering the anti-tubercular pharmaceutical together with α-tocopherol. |
