Abstract
The remediation of infectious diseases is an ongoing concern in healthcare structures due to the continued loss of efficacies of existing schedules and, in particular, the poignant threat of multidrug resistance. In the search for new therapies plants have emerged as an attractive option owing to their vast chemical resources. Allied to this feature is the widespread use of plants in traditional approaches towards infectious diseases. As far as the family Amaryllidaceae is concerned, around fifty of its members are identifiable with such distinctive functions in traditional medicine. This review examines the in vitro antibacterial activities of its plant extracts and sheds light on instances where these are corroborative of the traditional usage.
