Abstract

To combat the escalating antimicrobial resistance, we must constantly develop new medications. Recently, scientists more focused on endophytes to search for novel antimicrobial natural products. Endophytes are explored as 'bio-factories' of natural bioactive therapeutic compounds. These are microbes exhibited in plant living tissues without causing any harmful effect. Many therapeutic compounds isolated from endophytes are produced from biosynthetic pathways and belong to various structural groups like terpenoids, steroids, quinines, and phenols. Therapeutic compounds produced by endophytes exhibit different pharmacological properties. Fungal genera more commonly reside to plant tissue as compared to bacterial genera. The current review emphasizes comprehensive data on the antibacterial and antifungal activity and bio-therapeutic compounds produced by fungal and bacterial endophytes of some medicinal plants.
