Abstract: In the last decades, the antibiotics-resistance phenomenon has become a global health crisis, due to the rapid emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogens. Novel approaches in designing drugs able to overcome these resistant microbes are persistent need. With the suggestion of looking at nature for solutions, exploring medicinal plants may lead to develop new antimicrobial drugs. Seeds of Nigella sativa are mentioned and used since ancient great civilizations and until now in many regions as a part of their traditional health care systems. This mini-review highlights the potential use of this distinguished plant product as an effective antimicrobial drug.
