Abstract
The world’s population is increasing every day. The utilization of modern drugs to curb the incidences of some deadly diseases has improved tremendously of late. Contrary to this, some infectious microorganisms have developed highly resistant vigour to these modern drugs. The combination therapy causes the problems of overdosing or underdosing related to monotherapy. Tuberculosis is a major chronic infectious disease, and it affected over one-third of the people on this planet. Silver nanoparticles, for instance, have been reported to receive substantial attention in pharmacological and medical research because of their action against microbial activity against drug-resistant and drug-sensitive bacteria and bacteriostatic effect. It has been affirmed that numerous plants possess several numerous biological active constituents with many medical benefits. The incidence of herbal medicine in the management of certain chronic diseases is on the increase in the field of phytomedicine using nanoparticles and nanodevices.
