Abstract :
In the past few years, there has been a growing focus on antibacterial substances because of the rising occurrence of bacterial infections.The emergence of bacteria resistant to antibiotics, brought about by their misuse and overuse, stresses the need to explore alternative approaches in combating bacterial infections. The utilization of plant antibacterial fibers is a method that has become popular because of its biodegradable nature, ability to be renewed, and its environmental compatibility. Scientists have effectively utilized the intrinsic characteristics of plants in order to produce fibers that have the capability to counteract the growth of microorganisms. This breakthrough presents promising prospects in the fields of healthcare and textiles. The aim of this review is to present a brief account of plant fibers with antibacterial properties, outlining their mode of action and potential uses in textiles.Consequently, incorporating plant fibers and exploiting their attributes in nanofibers has introduced a novel dimension in the realm of antibacterial fabrics. These fibers possess considerable potential in the fight against the growth of microorganisms and offer a sustainable and organic substitute for synthetic antimicrobial agents.
