continue to enjoy human patronage because they are cheap, readily available and free from side effects often associated with
conventional antibiotics. Reproducibility, on the part of screening plants for antimicrobial activity, has become a challenge both from
the pharmacognosy and microbiology points of view. This review addresses the sampling techniques, phytochemical screening and the
concept of metabolomics in relation to medicinal plants as well as the applicability and the advantages and disadvantages of some
microbiological methodologies used in screening medicinal plants for their antimicrobial activity
