520			_aThe study experimentally investigated the antibacterial properties of artiles (Muntingia calabura Linn) as an alternative antiseptic against common respiratory bacteria, Esterococcus faecalis, Enterbactercloacae complex, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, to further explore the plant's fruit and aforementioned properties. prevent contributing to food waste, an update elaboration of its effect against the bacteria. The researchers harvested crude ariatelis fruit extracts via rotary evaluation and subjected them to phytochemical screening and Disk Diffusion Assay involving bacteria-coated Petri dishes to test for antibacterial effectiveness and bacterial susceptibility. The ethanolic aratiles fruit extract exhibited the presence of secondary metabolities in the photochemical screening. However, results in the Disk Diffusion Assay revealed no zone of inhibition in all concentrations of the extract against the bacteria. The researchers conclude that while aratiles fruits contain the antibacterial compounds, methods in its extraction may be altered to better demonstrate its bacterial susceptibility and effectiveness as an alternative antiseptic.
