Spirulina platensis as a novel natural antimicrobial against macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma gallisepticum in poultry

These findings suggest that <i>Spirulina platensis</i> acts as a uniquely mechanistic, non-toxic antimicrobial agent that can bypass existing resistance mechanisms. Further <i>in vivo</i> validation and mechanistic investigations are necessary to assess its potential as an alternative therapeutic option for poultry health management and combating antimicrobial resistance.
