REVIVING ANTIBIOTIC EFFICACY WITH INDIAN HERBAL REMEDIES: A JOURNEY TOWARDS REVERSING ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE Authors: Das P , YUKITHA B, KUMAR S AND LAHA S
ABSTRACT
Over the past years, antibiotics have proven less effective against bacterial infections due to the
increased development of resistance in bacteria. This has emerged as a significant worldwide
health threat, potentially causing severe infections in humans and prompting the need for
developing a new drug that can inhibit bacterial resistance So, certain herbs have shown good
antibiotic activity towards resistant bacteria through various scientific studies. This study
reviewed various methods to inhibit antibiotic-resistant bacteria by using Indian-originated
herbs. The plans and strategies for treating antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been discussed by
collecting information from various preclinical and clinical studies. This study includes the
experimentation of herbs on various antibiotic-resistant bacteria and provides the therapeutic
effects of each drug as this review can play an essential role in treating individuals with
infectious diseases.
