syzygium alternifolium is a member of Myrtacea family, is used for curing various ailments according to relevant traditional approaches on the plant drugs therapy. The present study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial properties of the methanolic, petroleum ether, ethylacetate, chloroform, benzene extracts of syzygium alternifolium leaves on certain pathogens. The methanolic, benzene, and petroleum ether showed significant results whereas the chloroform extract did not show any antimicrobial activity on any pathogen, also all these extracts were in significant on aspergillus niger. It was observed that as the disc dosage level increases the inhibitory effect also increased. These findings justify the use of the plants for the study of antibacterial activity. Their toxicity level and antimicrobial activity with different extraction solvents should further be studied to use them as potential sources and templates for the synthesis of drugs to control infectious diseases.
