Abstract

Many disease causing microorganisms have developed resistance against drugs, thus causing a challenge for the treatment of infectious diseases. The increase in antimicrobial resistance of various pathogens and the reduced number of available drugs with their decreased efficacy, reduced life span directed to the search of new therapeutic substitutes. Phytochemical derived from herbal plants have a great potential against microbial infections and the medicines derived from plants are now considered safer in contrast to synthetic drugs for use. Medicinal plants are now evaluated against various drug resistant microorganisms. Antibiotic activity can be enhanced by plant derived drugs by decreasing virulence or by reversing drug resistance
