Abstract : This systematic review investigates the antimicrobial susceptibility of various plant extracts used in soap formulations, with a focus on their preparation, characterization, and activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The review includes articles published between 2015 and 2024 that specifically investigate the sensitivity of bacteria to different plant extracts in soap formulations. Studies without an official English translation, without provided zone of inhibition data, or that focus on fungi were excluded. Relevant studies were systematically selected from Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Elsevier. A total of 30 studies were identified. The prepared soaps were characterized by evaluating sensory characteristics such as odor, color, and texture, as well as physical characteristics like foam height and stability. The disk- diffusion method was used to analyze the antimicrobial activity of the plant extracts against various types of bacteria. The effectiveness of each extract was determined by measuring the zone of inhibition in millimeters. The results of the review demonstrate variations in antimicrobial activity among different plant-based soaps, with some extracts showing larger zones of inhibition, indicating stronger activity against bacteria.

Keywords : Natural Antiseptics; Bacterial Resistance; Zone Of Inhibition; Escherichia Coli; Staphylococcus Aureus; Pseudomonas Aeruginosa.
