Overview

Systematic review highlights medicinal plants' antimicrobial properties, indicating selection of proper species impacts efficacy.

Key Points

  • This review aims to explore the antimicrobial potential of medicinal plants and the factors influencing their effectiveness.
  • Conducted systematic review following PRISMA guidelines across multiple databases.
  • Limited literature search to articles and journals relevant to antimicrobial properties of plants.
  • 64 studies including in-vitro and in-vivo analyses were evaluated for risk of bias using ToxRTool.
  • 269 plant species were analyzed for antimicrobial activity.
  • 76 plants demonstrated significant antimicrobial effects, with Asteraceae and Lamiaceae as key families.
  • Utilization of leaves and aerial parts was predominant due to their rich phytochemical content.
