The discovery of natural drugs gave rise to medicinal plants, which have become popular because of their pharmacological properties. There are infections everywhere, and they flourish in the right circumstances that are determined by the nutrients, moisture, temperature, and pH that promote the development of pathogenic microorganisms on fabrics and surfaces. Antimicrobial coatings and agents may thus be the key to destroying microorganisms. The process of creating antimicrobial finishings, microorganisms, how they attach to natural and synthetic fiber, the impact of microbial growth, and the theory and mechanism behind medicinal plants' microbial activity are all examined in this review study. This study also includes advances of antimicrobial treated textiles employing different agents, extraction procedures, and qualitative and quantitative phytochemical assessments of antimicrobial activity.
