In Vitro Plant Regeneration from Catharanthus roseus L. and Antibacterial activity of Leaves against Human Pathogens

Key Points

• Antibacterial activity against human pathogens like E. coli was observed, highlighting its therapeutic potential.
• Leaves exhibited significant antibacterial effects, particularly with inhibition zones measuring 12 mm in diameter.
• In vitro techniques enabled successful plant regeneration from Catharanthus roseus tissues, confirming its propagative capabilities.
• Results support the potential of Catharanthus roseus extract for developing natural antimicrobial agents.
