The purpose of this study is to compare the antimicrobial properties of natural extracts from both Carica papaya
leaf and Syzygium cumini seeds. The extracts were tested against typical bacterial species using traditional
agar diffusion methods including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella
typhi. For both extracts, the findings showed notable antibacterial action; Syzygium cumini showed more
inhibitory zones than Carica papaya. Both extracts exhibited bioactive components including tannins and
flavonoids in phytochemical analysis, which most certainly help to explain their antibacterial action. Using this
comparative analysis, the therapeutic uses of natural plant extracts as alternative antibacterial agents are
highlighted, therefore offering an understanding of their possibilities in the prevention of bacterial infections.
More investigation is needed to clarify the processes behind their antibacterial properties and their possibilities
in therapeutic environments.
