Abstract

Background

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a global threat to global public health, requiring innovative strategies to address antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. The synergy between plant extracts, essential oils, phytocompounds, and antibiotics promises to be a viable solution to this grave issue.

Main body

In addition to the synergistic effects of plant extracts, essential oils, and phytocompounds, the current review described the main groups of phytochemicals that function as anti-bacterial agents. The mechanical and toxicological issues are also highlighted in the current review.

Conclusion

The most popular techniques examined in this review are checkerboard and time-kill tests. The synergistic actions of plant extracts, phytocompounds, and essential oils effectively reduced the drug’s minimal inhibitory concentration against both standard and clinical bacterial isolates. Each of the three complementary strategies-plant extracts, phytocompounds, and essential oils-was equally significant.

植物提取物、精油、植物化合物与抗生素在控制耐药菌种中的协同关系

抗生素耐药性（AMR）已成为对全球公共卫生的全球性威胁，需要创新战略来解决抗生素耐药细菌病原体。植物提取物、精油、植物化合物和抗生素之间的协同作用有望成为解决这一严重问题的可行方案。除了植物提取物、精油和植物化合物的协同作用外，本综述还介绍了具有抗菌作用的植物化学物质的主要类别。机械和毒理学问题也在当前的审查中强调。结论本综述中最常用的检测方法是棋盘法和计时法。植物提取物、植物化合物和精油的协同作用有效地降低了药物对标准和临床细菌分离物的最低抑制浓度。这三种互补策略——植物提取物、植物化合物和精油——都同样重要。
