Abstract: (319 Views)
This review meticulously examines the antimicrobial effects of medicinal plants on Staphylococcus aureus and underscores their potential in overcoming the challenge of drug resistance. With a plethora of plant species known for their antimicrobial properties, exploring alternative solutions to combat bacterial infections is imperative. The review emphasizes the importance of investigating plant-derived compounds that can effectively inhibit bacterial growth through unique mechanisms and discusses the synergistic effects of combining multiple compounds from plant extracts. Researchers are actively working on isolating novel bioactive chemicals from plants to serve as effective alternatives to traditional antibiotics. The study highlights the critical role of herbal medicines in addressing resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and stresses the necessity for further research to develop innovative treatment approaches.
