This research aims to explore the antibacterial effects of secondary metabolites from endophytic bacteria in Carica papaya against specific clinical bacteria.
Isolated bacterial endophytes from Carica papaya using morphological and biochemical tests.
Identified endophytes as Flavobacterium, Enterobacter, and Proteus species.
Evaluated antibacterial activity using the agar well-diffusion method with ethyl acetate extracts.
Conducted phytochemical screening for flavonoids and phenols using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC).
Secondary metabolites showed strong antibacterial activity, with PS and PR2 having zones of inhibition of 18mm and 22mm against Klebsiella species.
Endophytes PL and PR1 displayed no antibacterial activity against Klebsiella or Staphylococcus aureus.
Flavonoids and phenols were detected, which may contribute to the observed antibacterial effects.
