Abstract
Citrus flavonoids are highly bioactive compounds exerting numerous health benefits including anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, mitoprotective and neuroprotective activity. Research on their broad-scope bioactivity experienced a renaissance in the early 2000s and further accelerated after COVID-19, including research on their antimicrobial properties. Summarizing selected research achievements on the antimicrobial activity of the main Citrus flavonoids, this study aims to provide a unified picture on the antimicrobial properties of these valued compounds that will hopefully assist in the development of flavonoid-based antimicrobials, including antibacterial treatments suitable for clinical use minimizing antimicrobial resistance.
