Abstract Microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) has emerged as a sustainable and innovative solution for soil and aggregate stabilization in both road and building construction. This systematic review examines the state-of-the-art applications of MICP in civil infrastructure, focusing on recent advancements, empirical studies, and technological gaps. Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework, we reviewed studies from the last ten years, analyzing their methodologies, key findings, and implications for future research. The novelty of this study lies in its meta-analysis of bacterial-induced aggregate formation and its potential to revolutionize construction by offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional stabilizers. The findings highlight critical trends, effectiveness, and challenges of MICP implementation, paving the way for further experimental validation and large-scale applications.
