Phenolic compounds of Phellinus spp. with antibacterial and antiviral activities.

ABSTRACT: Phellinus Quél is one of the largest genera of Hymenochaetaceae; it comprises about 220 species widely distributed on Earth. Most Phellinus species are lignicolous mushrooms that accumulate bioactive compounds. This research studied the phenolic composition of Phellinus spp. and their relationship with antibacterial and antiviral capacity. Phenolics were extracted from Phellinus badius, P. fastuosus, and P. grenadensis; their antiviral and antibacterial activities were evaluated against Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica, and Escherichia coli O157: H7; and the bacteriophages MS2 and Φ- × 174. Gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, epicatechin, ferulic acid, catechin, 1,3-dicaffeoylquinic acid, p-coumaric acid, and rutin were found in different proporti
