Medicinal plants have been used for centuries to treat various diseases including infectious disorders. Several traditional medical systems (e.g., Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Greek medicine) use plant species to cure disorders known to be caused or worsened by microbial infections such as fever, abscess, wounds, tuberculosis, and urinary tract infections. To validate these traditional uses and discover new drugs, scientific investigations of medicinal plants with anti-infective properties have been carried out since the last century.
