The goal of this study is to determine the antimicrobial properties of Mitracarpus scaber leaf extract. The findings show that it inhibits Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Trychophyton mentagraphytes at various concentrations. During the phytochemical screening, secondary metabolites such as steroids, reducing sugars, alkaloids, tannins, tepenoids, saponins, cardiac glycosides, and general glycosides were found. This shows that Mitracarpus scaber might be utilised as part of a herbal mixture to treat bacterial and fungal skin infections.
