Antibiotic/Antiviral
​
Several studies tested Sarsaparilla and its components against infectious organisms in cell-based studies, Sarsaparilla and its components reduced the division of the viruses causing:
Aids/HIV;
Oral Herpes;
Sarsaparilla also inhibited the bacterium causing typhoid fever and the parasites causing Chagas disease and leishmaniasis. However, it had no effect on two bacteria that cause antibiotic-resistant infections (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus)
