Abstract:
Spices have been utilized over the centuries for culinary and medicinal purposes. Their usage mostly differed as per the different geographical regions and their ethnicity. While they can be of the same class, they might differ in their flavour, aroma, and therapeutic potential. Herein we have explored the widely used south, east, and southeast Asian spices of the Apiaceae family namely cumin (Cumminum cyminum) and fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) for their therapeutic potential as natural sources of drug repurposing against the infections caused by the multidrug-resistant ESKAPE pathogens
