-
In traditional medicine of Uzbekistan, around 20% of herbal plants are used to treat various ailments, including diseases
caused by pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Though conventional medicinal plants are common in Uzbekistan, many plant spe-
cies potentially useful for new pharmaceuticals are less studied. They contain various biological compounds with antibacte-
rial and antifungal activities, that could be developed into drugs. The search for novel antimicrobial compounds, especially
against multidrug-resistant pathogens from aromatic and herbal plants is an essential scientific research line. However,
the antimicrobial properties of several medicinally important plants from various countries are still unknown. This review
aims to provide an up-to-date report on the antimicrobial activity of medicinal plants endemic to Uzbekistan widely used
in traditional medicine.
