to more efficient classes of antibiotics of natural origin. Plants have provided not only directly utilizable drugs, but also various compounds that can be used as starting steps for the synthesis of new drugs with better pharmacological properties (Mukherjee & Wahile, 2006). Therefore the necessity to develop new drugs requires varied strategies, among them, the bio prospection of secondary metabolites produced by medicinal plants (Dionisi et al., 2012 andShanmugam &Bhavani, 2014). Bassam et al. (2004) tested the antimicrobial activity of 6 medicinal plant extracts in vitro, against four bacterial species Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
