The pharmaceutical industry has advanced significantly in the production of antibiotics, however, the acquired resistance by microorganisms has developed rapidly. This article is intended to carry out a survey of various plants have been studied to assess their respective antimicrobial actions. As the result, it was found that extracts having specificity against many bacterial types (gram-positive and gram-negative), and others have a wide spectrum of action, including resistant strains. Thus, it is important to invest in research of natural antimicrobials, such as those obtained from plants, to seek alternative treatments of diseases caused by pathogens of clinical importance.
