1. In vitro experiments on anti-pathogenic microorganisms show that pomegranate peel has inhibitory effects on seven Gram-negative intestinal pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Shigella sonnei, Proteus, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Vibrio cholerae. In vitro, pomegranate peel decoction had antibacterial effects on all four types of Shigella dysenteriae, but the extent of the effects varied. The strongest effect was on Shigella dysenteriae (1:320), followed by Shigella dysenteriae and Shigella flexneri (1:80), and the weakest effect was on Shigella sonnei (1:20). The antibacterial effect of the plate method is lower than that of the test tube method. Its antibacterial mechanism is related to the large amount of tannic acid it contains.

In addition, pomegranate peel also has a certain degree of inhibitory effect on human tuberculosis bacteria in vitro.

The water decoction of pomegranate peel (1:4) has varying degrees of inhibitory effects on skin fungi such as Trichophyton violaceum, Trichophyton concentricum, Trichophyton gypseum, Trichophyton xulan, Microspore Trichophyton audouinensis, Microspore Trichophyton ferrugoid, Microspore Trichophyton woolly, Microspore Trichophyton gypseum, Epidermophyton inguinale, Epidermophyton rubrum, Epidermophyton kaufmann-wolfii, and Nocardia asteroides in vitro.

Experiments have shown that pomegranate peel has antiviral effects. The drug solution was first injected into the allantoic cavity of chicken embryos, and then the influenza A PR8 strain was inoculated half an hour later. Alternatively, the virus was inoculated first and then the drug was injected. After incubation for 48 hours, a hemagglutination test was performed. This showed that the pomegranate peel decoction diluted to 1:10000-1:100000 still had the effect of inhibiting influenza virus. This effect may also be related to the large amount of tannins it contains.
