Abstract The rising incidence of environmental stressors such as pollution and climate change has significant implications for plant physiology and biochemistry. This research paper Eco-Stressed Vegetables A Study on Pollution and Climate Impact on Antimicrobial Bioactivity investigates the impact of eco-stress—specifically, pollution and climatic variation—on the antimicrobial bioactivity of commonly consumed vegetables. Selected vegetable species were cultivated and harvested from both polluted and unpolluted environments, with controlled variables accounting for temperature fluctuations and exposure to airborne and soil-borne pollutants. The plant extracts were subjected to antimicrobial assays against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, as well as fungal pathogens. Results indicate a notable variation in antimicrobial activity linked to environmental conditions, with certain eco-stressed vegetables exhibiting enhanced bioactivity potentially due to elevated levels of secondary metabolites such as phenolics and flavonoids. However, in other cases, stress led to diminished bioactive properties, suggesting a species-specific and condition-dependent response. The findings underscore the complex role of ecological stress in modulating the phytochemical landscape of vegetables, with implications for both food safety and the therapeutic potential of plant-based antimicrobials. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence on how environmental degradation and climate anomalies influence plant-derived bioactives, emphasizing the need for integrated approaches in agriculture, environmental monitoring, and public health.
