The demand for antimicrobial textiles has increased in the recent global market owing to the booming demand for fresh lifestyles by customers. This can be achieved by using synthetic or natural antimicrobial agents. However, ecological problems have reduced the demand for synthetic antimicrobial agents. Natural antimicrobial agents can be obtained from plants and animals. Traditionally, multiple species of plants have been used to treat various diseases. Calpurnia Aurea and Lantana Camara have been used as medicinal plants in rural Ethiopia. The health benefits of Calpurnia Aurea and Lantana Camara have been proven by different scholars. The presence of phytochemicals that act against photogenic micro-organisms, such as bacteria and fungi indicate the potential of herbs to be used as eco-friendly and sustainable antimicrobial agents in different applications. Thus, the pharmaceutical value of plants has been approved. However, none of these herbs is used in the manufacture of antimicrobial textiles.
