Abstract

The emergence of multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MDR-SA) has significantly abated the sensitivity to antibiotics, causing uncertainty in the effectiveness of antibiotics to combat multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore, new therapeutic options are in demand for adequate management of patients presented with multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Scientists worldwide are working on the secondary metabolites of the medicinal plants, such as essential oils as potential antimicrobial agent/s with minimum resistance as an alternative to conventional medicine. This review summarized the evidence on the efficacy of essential oils against a range of bacterial strains which were considered resistant to many antibiotics.
