Wound care is a global health issue with financial burden of up to US $96.8 billion annually in the USA alone. Chronic non-healing wounds which show delayed and incomplete healing are especially problematic. Although there more than 3000 dressing types wound management market, new developments efficient dressings will require innovative approaches such as embedding antibacterial additives into wound-dressing materials. The lack novel agents misuse current antibiotics have caused an increase antimicrobial resistance (AMR) estimated cause 10 million deaths by 2050 worldwide. These ongoing challenges clearly indicate urgent need for developing targeting microbial pathogens. Natural products their derivatives long been significant source pharmaceuticals against AMR. Scrutinising data newly approved drugs has identified plants one biggest most important sources development drugs. Some plant-based additives, essential oils plant extracts, previously used dressings; however, another plant-derived i.e., those produced symbiotic endophytic fungi, that great potential applications.
