U
nbalanced approaches to health and healing by overuse
of antibiotics give rise to a generation of drug resistant
bacteria i.e.
Staphylococcus aureus
that can cause localized
infection to toxic shock syndrome. This incidence of resistance
among microbes against pharmaceutical antibiotics and high
cost of these medicines make them unaffordable for poor
people and prompts the search for alternative medicine. This
review paper aims to address the use of medicinal plants in
managing infections due to multi-resistant S. aureus. Efforts are
made to aggregate previously published and relevant literature
pertaining to each plant with reference to multi-resistant
S. aureus. Also, most of the literatures cited address the issue of
S. aureusmulti-resistance.Medicinal plantsmeet these criteria as
they are considered to be more readily available, affordable and
effective. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, herbal medicines
contain hundreds of secondary metabolites such as terpenoids,
alkaloids, tannins, and flavonoids that make their chemistry
highly complex for resistance to occur. Antibacterial activity of
various plants is reported against Staphylococcus species. The
herbs show promise as an alternative anti-biotic.
