Abstract
With the emergence and evolution of bacterial strains, it is now becoming difficult for
pharmaceutical industries to provide remedies required for the betterment of mankind. Continuous exposure
with available medication leads to the development of new strains with a significant amount of
resistance, due to which pharmaceutical industries are facing various challenges. Antimicrobial resistance
is the phenomenon causing a challenge in new drug development through conventional methods.
Therefore, the requirement of alternative medicine is in high demand. Recently, allopathic medicines
have seen a disinterest and people are preferring natural solutions due to their fewer side effects
comparable to conventional medicine. Worldwide plants are utilized for various disease treatments
such as bacterial infection, skin disorders, cancer, asthma, respiratory problems, etc. The presence of a
wide range of phytocompounds in different plants provides an alternative to the pharmaceutical industries
to counter the problem of bacterial infections. Different plants contain various phytochemicals
that possess numerous therapeutic activities and provide a remedy to suppress various bacterial strains.
Therefore, in this review, an overview of various plants and their phytocompounds which are responsible
for antibacterial activity has been discussed.
