The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance has intensified the search for alternative therapeutic strategies. This review analyses various in vitro models employed to evaluate the bactericidal properties of homoeopathic medicines. A wide range of experimental methods- including agar diffusion assays, broth dilution techniques for determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), time-kill assays, biofilm models, and advanced analytical techniques such as flow cytometry have been utilized to assess antimicrobial activity against organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, and Candida albicans. Several homoeopathic preparations, have demonstrated inhibitory effects under laboratory conditions at different potencies. By bridging traditional principles with modern methodologies, future standardised in vitro model research can contribute significantly to the integration of homoeopathy into mainstream antimicrobial strategies.
