Résumé

Metals are trace elements, vital in some instances or toxic in others. Due to this toxicity, they have been used since ancient time as antimicrobials, and prescribed when plant-only remedies were not efficient enough. These remedies could still contain secrets that may lead to the discovery of new therapeutically interesting combinations. The objective of this study was to give a proof of concept that such remedies combining metals and plants are worth studying again.
