Abstract

Plants have formed the foundation of traditional medicine for hundreds of years, and they still provide humanity with novel answers. The phrase "medical plant" has been defined in the literature as the direct application of different plant parts or the active compounds produced from them in the treatment of illnesses. Because they are a source of therapeutic phytochemicals that will enable the creation of new medications, medicinal plants are extremely important. Cichorium intybus extracts (water and ethanolic) were assayed for the evaluation of their antimicrobial activity against four bacterial strains: Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus , two fungal Aspergillus niger and Fusarium exosporium and C. albicans Plants have formed the foundation of traditional medicine for hundreds of years, and they still provide humanity with novel answers.
