“…This indicated the potent antifungal efficacy of textiles dyed with gallnut and madder. 52 An analysis of cotton, silk, and wool fabrics dyed with natural extracts from peony, pomegranate, clove, Coptis chinensis, and gallnut revealed exceptional antibacterial action against S. aureus and K. pneumoniae, with reduction rates ranging from 96.8% to 99.9%. Notably, peony extract showed no antibacterial properties.…”

In the face of mounting environmental concerns, the textile industry is undergoing a pivotal transformation, with sustainability at the forefront of innovation. This review focuses on the exploration of natural compounds, renowned for their antimicrobial properties, as viable alternatives to conventional chemical agents that pose significant environmental challenges. It delves into a diverse array of natural sources, including plant extracts, essential oils, and microbial‐derived compounds, which have been identified for their potent antimicrobial efficacy. These natural agents not only demonstrate a broad spectrum of activity against pathogenic microorganisms but also represent a stride towards eco‐friendly textile processing by offering a sustainable substitute for synthetic antimicrobials. The integration of these green antimicrobial agents into textiles is scrutinized, with a particular emphasis on their impact on enhancing fabric functionalities. This includes improvements in durability, wash resistance, and the sustained antimicrobial effectiveness of treated fabrics, without sacrificing environmental integrity. Moreover, the study underscores the potential health benefits of these natural agents, such as a decrease in allergic reactions and skin irritations commonly associated with traditional antimicrobial treatments. The review culminates by highlighting the significant role these eco‐conscious solutions play in revolutionizing antimicrobial textiles, promoting industry‐wide sustainable practices, and catering to the escalating consumer demand for environmentally responsible products.Highlights Provides eco‐friendly and sustainable alternatives in textile processing, offering a greener choice over synthetic options. Enhances fabric functionality while preserving environmental integrity, addressing sustainability concerns throughout production. Improves fabric durability, wash resistance, and long‐lasting efficacy, thereby contributing to superior product performance. Reduces allergic reactions and skin irritations, underscoring the health benefits of eco‐friendly antimicrobial treatments. Promotes sustainable practices, shaping the future of antimicrobial textiles and catering to the growing demand for environmentally conscious consumer choices in the industry.

“…It has been observed that fabrics and products dyed with the Anatolian acorn oak comply with the ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) and NODS (Natural Organic Dye Standard) criteria [18]. Furthermore, due to its antimicrobial and antifungal properties, using Anatolian acorn oak in dyeing imparts natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties to the dyed products or fibres [19].…”

The Anatolian acorn (Quercus ithaburensis Decne) is a promising resource for a variety of industries in Turkey and the world. It has the potential to serve as a bio-mordant, natural dye for textiles and leather, providing an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes and reducing dependence on chemicals and petrochemicals. The commercial viability of the acorn and its export potential make it a valuable resource for supporting regional trade and boosting the local economy, with the potential to create new job opportunities. In addition, the acorn has a unique colour range, fastness, and antimicrobial properties, making it a desirable choice for manufacturers looking for a sustainable alternative. Overall, the Anatolian acorn holds great potential as a natural dye and a valuable resource for supporting regional trade and sustainability goals. The development and commercialization of this resource could play a significant role in the future of sustainable development in Turkey and the world.

“…Several plant fibers by themselves or associated with nanoparticles already demonstrated antifungal activity and inhibition of the initial adhesion of opportunistic fungi pathogens' adhesion [51,52]. Alkan et al [51] reported different degrees of antifungal activity against Candida albicans DSMZ 1386 with silk material separately dyed with madder (Rubia tinctorium L.) and gallnut (Quercus infectoria Olivier). Arenas-Chávez et al [52] showed a relevant antifungal activity against C. albicans and Aspergillus niger through functionalized fabrics, more exactly, cotton natural fiber with nanocomposites based on silver nanoparticles and carboxymethyl chitosan (a natural material derived from the shells of sea crustaceans).…”

Healthcare-associated infections (HAI), or nosocomial infections, are a global health and economic problem in developed and developing countries, particularly for immunocompromised patients in their intensive care units (ICUs) and surgical site hospital areas. Recurrent pathogens in HAIs prevail over antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. For this reason, natural antibacterial mechanisms are a viable alternative for HAI treatment. Natural fibers can inhibit bacterial growth, which can be considered a great advantage in these applications. Moreover, these fibers have been reported to be biocompatible and biodegradable, essential features for biomedical materials to avoid complications due to infections and significant immune responses. Consequently, tissue engineering, medical textiles, orthopedics, and dental implants, as well as cosmetics, are fields currently expanding the use of plant fibers. In this review, we will discuss the source of natural fibers with antimicrobial properties, antimicrobial mechanisms, and their biomedical applications.
