Abstract
Aim: This study was aimed to investigate antimicrobial
efficacy of crude extracts from Justicia secunda stem.
Method and Materials: A total of seven pathogenic microbes,
including Staphylococcus aureus, were subjected to testing against the
extracts obtained using different solvents in their order of polarity.
Results: The results demonstrated selective
sensitivity, with Staphylococcus aureus being the only microbe affected.
Notably, methanol extracts exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity (10.5
mm zone of inhibition), followed by ethyl acetate extracts (8.0 mm zone of
inhibition). The findings highlight the crucial role of solvent selection in
obtaining bioactive compounds from Justicia secunda stem.
Conclusion: It was concluded that the potential of Justicia
secunda as a source for developing new antimicrobial agents to combat Staphylococcus
aureus infections, validating its traditional use in folk medicine.
