Metabolomic analysis of the mechanism of action of yerba mate aqueous extract on Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

ConclusionThis work provides the first evaluation of the mechanism of action of yerba mate extract onS. Typhimurium, revealing a major impact on central carbon metabolism, catalase activity, and possible metabolic links to interference in energy production and membrane integrity. The putative identification of the antibacterial compound yohimbine and the many unidentified compounds provides additional avenues for future investigations of yerba mate compounds capable of traversing or binding toS. Typhimurium ’s membrane.
