Abstract

Guava leaves have been utilized traditionally as medicine and are known as an antimicrobial agent as well. In this research paper, guava leaves were extracted using the maceration method. The solvents used in this research were water, ethyl acetate, and hexane. Guava leaf extracts were tested towards Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Penicillium sp. by the agar diffusion method [1].
