Abstract

A well-known traditional medicinal plant is Syzygium cumini. The plant's therapeutic qualities are caused by its phytochemical components. Syzygium cumini's seed, leaves, and bark fruit and pulp were studied using crude methanol, ethanol, and aqueous extracts (Magnoliopsida: Myrtaceae). The extract's antibacterial effectiveness was evaluated against typical bacterial strains utilizing the agar well diffusion technique. The chemical classes found in the extracts of seed, leaves, and bark according to phytochemical research include flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, phenols, saponins, terpenes, cardiac glycosides, and tannins. Inhibitory action against clinical isolates was evident in the extracts. Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli are examples of gram-negative bacteria. Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus are examples of gram-positive bacteria. The gram-positive bacteria, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli, Contrary to expectations, the methanol and ethanol extract reduced the growth of bacteria like Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus a liquid extract. The pulp’s methanolic extract was discovered to be a more effective antibacterial agent than the extracts of the leaves and bark.The current investigation supports the use of various Syzium Cumini parts as effective antibacterial agents for field use, and sustainable and environmentally friendly management of various bacterial strains as well as additional research is needed.
