The resistance of bacteria to antibiotics has been declared by the WHO as a major public health issue since 2014. Indeed, the list of bacteria capable of resisting almost all available antibiotic molecules is growing. For a long time this problem has been linked to the misuse of antibiotics and has been limited to the hospital environment. More recently, it has integrated human activities (industrial environments, etc.) and agricultural environments. Thus the role of the environment as a source but also in the transmission of antibiotic resistance raises many questions. In the fight of the antibiotic resistance spread, it is currently impossible to limit vision simply to the aspect of human or animal health. Indeed, all ecosystems are linked (human, animal, environment). It is therefore essential to analyze the situation in a global "One Health" context integrating the issue of antimicrobial resistance in all these ecosystems. It is therefore essential to increase the field of knowledge on the environmental factors that could be involved in the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance and its dispersion. There are particularly favorable environments for the dispersal of multidrug resistance, such as all areas of strong human activity (mining areas ...) and farms. It is recognized that in these areas pollution by organic waste, metallic trace elements, are all factors triggering adaptation mechanisms developed by microorganisms. But what about the role of plants and their metabolites in this environment?. In this context of antimicrobial resistance plants metabolites can be considered according to different aspects. Present in the soil, they can be considered in the same way as other environmental factors that can impact the structure of soil bacterial communities. Isolated, these metabolites can have antimicrobial activities in the search for new antibiotics. And finally, others can act on the resistance mechanisms in these particular environments.
Biofilms are mind boggling microbial affiliations tied down to abiotic or biotic surfaces, inserted in extracellular framework delivered by the biofilms themselves where they associate with one another and the earth. One of the principle properties of biofilms is their ability to be more impervious to antimicrobial operators than planktonic cells. Efflux siphons have been accounted for as one of the instruments answerable for the antimicrobial obstruction in biofilm structures. Proof of the job of efflux siphon in biofilm opposition has been found in a few microorganisms, for example, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. Nonetheless, regardless of the examinations on the significance of efflux siphons in biofilm development and about their pertinence in antimicrobial obstruction shaping biofilm, the specific job of these efflux frameworks has not been resolved so far.

Biofilms have been characterized as mind boggling microbial affiliations moored to abiotic or biotic surfaces. This structure might be framed by a solitary or numerous microbial species. The cells are inserted in extracellular grid created by the biofilms themselves by which they interface with one another and the earth. In any case, another meaning of biofilm has been proposed considering other physiological properties of the microorganisms shaping biofilm. In this way, biofilm is characterized as a microbiologically inferred sessile network described by cells that are irreversibly appended to a foundation or interface or one another, are installed in a framework of extracellular polymeric substances that they have created and show a changed phenotype as for development rate and quality transcription.1 Biofilm arrangement has been seen by the greater part of the microscopic organisms found in normal, clinical and modern settings. The grid contains a few substances, for example, polysaccharides, proteins and DNA from the microorganisms and this framework gives basic dependability to the biofilm.2 The biofilm structure gives insurance to the cells against have protection instruments, phagocytosis, biocides, hydrodynamic shear powers and anti-microbial treatment.3,4 Biofilm is viewed as liable for 65% of all bacterial infections.
Biofilm arrangement is created in three fundamental stages connection, the cells show up to the surface and hold fast to this surface; development and development, they start to deliver the exopolysaccharide that establishes the framework and develop from microcolonies to multilayered cell groups; separation, the cells take on a planktonic state and can along these lines structure biofilm in other settings. It has been recommended that separation systems can be isolated into two classifications: dynamic and inactive. Dynamic separation alludes to instruments started by the microscopic organisms themselves, for example, enzymatic debasement of the biofilm network, majority detecting, and so forth. Then again, uninvolved separation alludes to that interceded by outer powers, for example, liquid shear, scraped area and human intervention. It has additionally been suggested that the separation procedure might be brought about by bacteriophage action inside the biofilm.
