When antibiotics were first used as a medicinal therapy in the 1940s, bacterial resistance to them emerged. To control
the use of these medications, a number of alert strategies were introduced beginning in the 2000s. Consumption declined
in response to these measures until 2010, but this decline was short-lived [1]. The widespread or insufficient use of
antibiotics is linked to the problem of bacterial resistance, which may significantly raise the patient's risk of toxicity,
expose side effects, result in medication interactions and super infections, or even cause death [2].
Therefore, it will be vital to look for therapeutic alternatives in order to reduce the harm and stop this issue from spreading.
In fact, a number of recent studies have concentrated on the investigation of plant-based compounds that possess
significant antibacterial properties, or the combination of these products with antibiotics to enhance their antibacterial
properties. This study undoubtedly contributes to the hunt for neo-biomolecules to eradicate the emergence of multi-
resistant bacterial strains.
