“…Phytochemical screening of plants in these families in many publications [Tables 1 and 2 ], in this review, revealed the presence of terpenoid essential oils both mono and sesquiterpenes. Some studies investigated antimicrobial activity of essential oils of Nigerian plants in different families [ 32 , 52 , 69 , 128 , 179 , 192 , 215 - 221 ]. It was observed that studies on geographical and seasonal variation have not been undertaken on essential oil of selected aromatic Nigerian plants.…”

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is currently one of the major threats facing mankind. The emergence and rapid spread of multi- and pan-drug-resistant organisms (such as vancomycin-, methicillin-, extended-spectrum β-lactam-, carbapenem- and colistin-resistant organisms) has put the world in a dilemma. The health and economic burden associated with AMR on a global scale are dreadful. Available antimicrobials have been misused and are almost ineffective with some of these drugs associated with dangerous side effects in some individuals. Development of new, effective, and safe antimicrobials is one of the ways by which AMR burden can be reduced. The rate at which microorganisms develop AMR mechanisms outpaces the rate at which new antimicrobials are being developed. Medicinal plants are potential sources of new antimicrobial molecules. There is renewed interest in antimicrobial activities of phytochemicals. Nigeria boasts of a huge heritage of medicinal plants and there is avalanche of researches that have been undertaken to screen antimicrobial activities of these plants. Scientific compilation of these studies could provide useful information on the antimicrobial properties of the plants. This information can be useful in the development of new antimicrobial drugs. This paper reviews antimicrobial researches that have been undertaken on Nigerian medicinal plants.

“…Moreover, E. coli ATCC 25922 (13 ± 1 mm), P. mirabilis A 24974 (09 ± 1 mm), P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 (11 ± 1 mm) and E. coli (9.67 ± 0.57 mm) were also susceptible to the hydro-ethanolic extract of S. radiatum. Osibote et al (2009) reported similar results that E. coli ATCC 25922, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were susceptible to the essential oil of the stem of S. radiatum, with inhibition zone diameters from 10 to 19 mm. However, they also reported that Citrobacter spp.…”

Malaria incidences has been a public health concern and it has increased in recent years because of resistance of the malaria parasite to available antimalarial drugs. This research explored the anti-plasmodial effect of the Cissus populnea matrixed in artemether-lumefantrine against Plasmodium berghei infected mice. The matrixed drug was evaluated for prophylactic, curative, and suppressive effect in Plasmodium berghei mice. The swiss Albino mice were grouped into 4 and were inoculated with Plasmodium berghei intraperitoneally except the naïve group. The matrixed drug significantly inhibited parasitemia in prophylactic, curative, and suppressive infections (p<0.05) (45.75%, 37.75, and 60.99%, respectively). However, a significant decrease in PCV, Hb, RBC and increased total and differential white blood cell count was observed in the mice that were treated with the matrixed tablet formulation for prophylaxis and suppression, but no significant hematological effect was observed in the groups that received the matrixed tablet for curative effect. The histopathological analysis of the matrixed drug on different organs showed no observable damage in any of the organs This study suggests that incorporation of Cissus populnea gum in artemether-lumefantrine based tablets possessed promising antimalarial potential with minimal histological and hematological effects.
