ABSTRACT

Currently, Increase is Antimicrobial resistance is the biggest threat worldwide. The multi- and pan-drug-resistant organisms (such as vancomycin-, methicillin-, extended-spectrum ?-lactam-, carbapenem- and colistin-resistant organisms) spreading very rapidly, and put the world in a dilemma. The AMR resulting the health and economic burden associated with AMR on a global scale are very dreadful. The antimicrobials which are currently available have been misused and are almost ineffective against pathogenic microorganisms. Some of the antimicrobial drugs showed dangerous side effects in some individuals. Developing new, effective, and safe antimicrobial agents is one of the best way by which we can reduce Antimicrobial resistance. The microorganism s developed AMR against antimicrobial agents. There is renewed interest in antimicrobial activities of phytochemicals. For medicinal plants Nigeria boasts is huge Heritage. The lot of research work is carried out to screen antimicrobial activities of the plants. The scientific compilation of these studies could provide useful information on the antimicrobial properties of the plants. This information can be useful in the development of new antimicrobial drugs. This paper will provide information about the antimicrobial researches that have been undertaken on Nigerian medicinal plants. Keywords: AMR, Antimicrobial, Medicinal plants
