Infectious diseases are spreading day-to-day with excessive health care costs. Bacillus cereus is a known causative agent of foodborne diseases. Because of emergence of antibiotic resistance, it is necessary to develop nature- and plant-based antibiotics. Many of the medicinal plants are highly able to fight bacterial and fungal pathogens in humans. Scientists are interested in using these plants to treat infections because these plants cause much fewer side effects than chemical drugs. This review article reported the native medicinal plants effective on B. cereus. The findings indicate that Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh, Zataria multiflora, Mentha pulegium, Artemisia persica, Cuminum cyminum, Cordia myxa L, Scrophularia striata, Mentha longifolia, Rosmarinus officinalis, and Lavandula sp. are effective on B. cereus. Because these plants have antimicrobial effects according to traditional medicine, their anti-B. cereus effects have been confirmed in scientific investigations, and their compounds have already been identified in phytochemical investigations, their effective compounds can be used to produce naturebased, anti-B. cereus antibiotics.
