This research examines how natural substances from bacteria, fungi, and animals could help fight influenza infections. Scientists are searching for new treatments because current flu medications often don’t work well enough and viruses can become resistant to them. The study found many promising natural compounds that could potentially be developed into new flu medications. Impacts on everyday life: – Could lead to more effective flu treatments that work even after symptoms appear – May help reduce the severity and duration of flu infections – Could provide options for treating drug-resistant flu strains – Might result in new combination therapies that work better than single drugs – Could help reduce hospitalizations and deaths from severe flu infections
