Tomato juice, a natural drink made from a readily available vegetable, contains antimicrobial properties that could eliminate typhoid-causing Salmonella (Salmonella Typhi), findings of a recent study suggest.

Tomato is one of the most widely consumed affordable vegetables. It is also known for its antioxidant properties. However, its antimicrobial properties remain largely unexplored.
