A review on antimicrobial activity of some plant

Abstract

Many studies have recently been conducted to examine antimicrobial activities in response to rising public concern about hygiene. Antimicrobial agents have potentially harmful or hazardous effects, hence their usage needs to be monitored. In the past few years, because of older antibiotics' fewer negative reactions are being experienced, as more people are choosing to use natural substances rather than synthetic or chemical medicines, herbal plants are used as medicines. Plants can be utilized directly as their active ingredients or as plant extracts. The majority of the world's inhabitants also use herbal remedies because of their potent antibacterial effects and advantages for basic healthcare. Furthermore, oxidative stress slows down the cellular processes required for wound healing and increases the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Biomaterials with strong antibacterial activity, like herbal plant medicine, can take the role of antibiotics. The antimicrobial qualities particular of plants are highlighted in this review paper. This review discusses the recent progress on antimicrobial properties of herbal materials and their efficacy in eradicating bacteria and fungus. The given antimicrobial compounds in this review include clove, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, Mentha which are elaborated.
