Abstract
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogen is found in soil, plants and hospital water reservoirs which include showers, sinks and toilet water. It is responsible for numerous human deaths each year due to its multidrug resistance (MDR) and is a significant threat to the immunocompromised and critically ill patients in healthcare settings. There has been a decline in breakthroughs in conventional medicine for the treatment of P. aeruginosa, but recent studies suggest finding new and novel treatment approaches, such as combining different types of antibiotics or pioneering innovative options, in treating infections related to P. aeruginosa. The administering of combination drugs is complex and in many instances have serious side effects, hence alternative therapeutic approaches are being explored. Phytotherapy and homeopathy are science-based medical practices that both make use of administering specially prepared plant-based medicines to treat patients. These modalities have shown that various plant-based medications have antimicrobial action without side-effects. The medicinal value of Psidium guajava L. (guava) has been reported in the treatment of various illnesses. It is known for its antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anti-diarrhoeal properties due to the high ascorbic acid and tannins composition...
