Abstract: Innumerable infectious diseases threat human health safety that result in numerous deaths each year despite significant progress in medical science. Owing to medicinal properties, natural plant extracts had been used to heal wounds for many years. Recent studies found that nanofibrous mats produced by electrospinning have great potential applications in wound dressings. Incorporating plant extracts into electrospun nanofibrous structures will enhance antibacterial properties of nanomats in wound dressing application.
