“…The modes of action and mechanisms of some proteins and peptides as antimicrobial agents were described by Le et al 48 These include inhibition of nucleic acids, proteins, metabolism, cell wall biosynthesis, lipopolysaccharide-binding peptides, and protein-folding. Recently, in agreement with the results of the present study, Abd El-Aty et al 49 conrmed the antimicrobial activity of silk fabric extract from neem leaves against different types of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi). In the same context, Ahamad and Vootla 50 reported the antimicrobial potential of Antheraea mylitta silk sericin on several pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains.…”

“…Nowadays, the variety of green approaches have been carried out in developing the antimicrobial and antiviral cotton fabric. From the literature, the antimicrobial cotton clothes have been produced using plant leaves extract such as aloe vera ( Ali, Purwar, Joshi and Rajendran, 2014 ), Azadirachta indica (neem) ( El Aty., Bassyouni, Zaher and Guirguis, 2018 , Rajendran et al, 2012 ), lotus ( Oh and Na, 2014 ), ginger, and curry leaves ( Jaswal, Preet and Goal, 2017 ). Plant leaves extract has been chosen as a coating material because it is economical, eco-friendly and bioactive in nature with antifungal, antibacterial and anti-viral activity.at ( Guo X. and Mei, 2016 , Kawai et al, 1998 ).…”

The highly contagious nature of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus has created a havoc effect all over the world in a very short period. The most effective method for precaution of this virus as suggested by WHO is use of PPEs (triple layered face mask, body suits) and social distancing. However, the frontline doctors and medical staff have high risk of exposure to the virus during treatments and removal and discarding of the PPEs. Also the PPEs are of the onetime use and wearing these PPEs in hot and humid seasons is very uncomfortable. A possible solution of this problem is if clothes are anti-bacterial and anti-viral in nature, one single-layered will be sufficient and the spread of virus will also be minimized. Considering this, we have designed a facile and durable anti-wash antimicrobial coating on cloth by aloe vera and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS). In lab scale study, present coating shows good chemical and thermal stability making it reusable multiple times even after repeated washing. The coated cloth reveals the excellent anti-dirt and stain resistance properties leading to complete non-adherence of dirt and stain (e.g. Color, food, ink) on it. Anti-bacterial and anti-fungi properties of the coated cloth were confirmed by doing E. coli (bacteria) and A. Niger (fungus) culture studies, respectively. This coating is imbibed with well-known anti-viral agent aloe vera which inhibits the attachment of the virus on the surface. The water-repellent nature of the coating combined with the use anti-viral agent, aloe vera makes it a potential anti-COVID-19 coating.

“…Then, the antimicrobial activity of the fabric was tested and the results showed that the silk fabric had strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus, L. cereus and B. subtilis). According to the results, the dye inhibits the growth of bacteria when the concentration is increased [12].…”

Antimicrobial properties are gaining popularity and getting more attention in the textile industry. Also, the demand for antimicrobial products has increased significantly in the market because consumers are demanding fresh and clean clothes. Various chemical agents are used in industries to give an antimicrobial finish to textiles. These chemicals are long-lasting and highly effective against various bacteria, microbes and fungi, but those chemicals are harmful to the environment. Therefore, much of the research has been conducted on medicinal plant based antimicrobial agents. Natural antimicrobial compounds have less harmful impacts on living beings and are also more environmentally friendly. Various medicinal plants that contain antimicrobial compounds are present and these plants are used as home medicines for various diseases. Such plants are neem (Azadirachta indica), basil (Ocimum basilicum), pomegranate (Punica granatum), Arjun tree (Terminalia arjuna), sage plant (Salvia officinalis) etc. This study is conducted systematically by considering only evergreen herbal medicinal plants of the Indian subcontinent. Medicinal plants were utilized to impart antimicrobial properties to textiles and to develop various products.
