Abstract

Foodborne pathogens are often associated with pandemic, endemic, and sporadic foodborne disease outbreaks. These pathogenic bacteria commonly belong to genus Vibrio, Salmonella, Listeria, Escherichia, Clostridium, Bacillus, Campylobacter, and Staphylococcus. Antimicrobials are the mainstay of infectious disease treatments in humans and animals. However, continuous indiscriminate usage of antimicrobials has posed a serious threat to human and animal health. Moreover, hepatotoxicity, anaphylaxis, nephrotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and gastrointestinal and hematological side effects are major concerns as well. This situation has led to the discovery of novel antimicrobial agents. The herbal extracts of aromatic plants have been utilized home-made remedies for different diseases for centuries. Therefore, the plants are now overwhelmingly screened to develop safer novel antimicrobial agents. This review article discusses various phytocompounds along with their extraction strategies, and antimicrobial potential against foodborne pathogens. Furthermore, their combined applications with existing antibiotics to counter bacterial resistance, benefits, challenges, and necessary future improvements are highlighted as well.
