ABSTRACT

Antibiotic resistance has become a major therapeutic issue in recent decades, and new medicines are being produced slowly. Finding novel antibacterial agents is critical. Globally, finding new natural chemicals for drug development is a priority. These natural chemicals' chemical variety and biological functionality enable novel drug discovery. In full bloom, a local garden's leaf samples of Catharanthus roseus and Tinospora cordifolia The leaves are used to test antibacterial capabilities. The leaves were first rinsed with tap water, then distilled water, and then dried. They were then cleaned in ethanol and dried at 25oC to remove any impurities. The "zone of inhibition" is used to measure the leaf extract's action on the culture. The zones' circumferences are measured.
