The goal of the current investigation was to determine whether C. benghalensis L. leaf extract has any antibacterial properties in order to understand the pharmacological underpinnings of the plant's traditional use in folk medicine to treat infectious disorders. In contrast to the hexane and methanolic extracts, the chloroform extract showed the greatest activity against the pathogenic bacterial strains Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, and Candida albicans, with inhibition zones of 7 mm, 1 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm, respectively. The presence of tannin, favonoid, phenol, carbohydrate, and volatile oil was also Using the dilution susceptibility test method, the Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) of the chloroform extract was identified. According to the latest research, Commelina benghalensis L leaf extract can be used to treat common pathogenic bacteria.
