Abstract
The sessile army of microbes enclosed in an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) is known as the Biofilm. Biofilm formation is commonly seen in bacteria and some fungi. The high tolerance of these sessile army to exogenous stress and other cidal agents poses as a major problem in many fields ranging from industrial biofouling to chronic infections in humans hence researchers all around the globe are testing effective ways to prevent and control the biofilm formation. Chemical intervention of these are found to be unsatisfactory due to various reasons like resistance and toxicity hence in this current review the use of natural products like medicinal plants and its bioactive compounds to combat the formation resistant microbial communities with least toxicity and utmost efficacy is studied. This can be a useful data and guidance for future antibiofilm studies.
