Fractionation and Antibacterial Evaluation of the Surface Compounds from the Leaves of < em > Combretum zeyheri < /em > on Selected Pathogenic Bacteria

In conclusion, C. zeyheri leaf surface compounds exhibited antibacterial activity. The crude extract and the pooled fractions showed concentration-dependent inhibition of growth on S. aureus. Results from this study indicate the potential of C. zeyheri as a source of lead compounds that may be further developed into antibacterial drugs.PMID:37520845 | PMC:PMC10382245 | DOI:10.1155/2023/2322068
