C.roseus, a member of the Apocynaceae family, is a herbaceous plant that is also known as Madagascar periwinkle plants. Catharanthus roseus was tested for antimicrobial activity. Using the well diffusion technique, pathogenic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Aeromonas hydrophila) and fungal strains (Aspergillus niger (Black fungi) and Aspergillus flavus, Rhizopus stolonifer) were tested. The aim of this study was to see if Catharanthus roseus extract had antibacterial activity. The plant extract tested had significant antimicrobial activity when tested using the diffusion method. The leaves, roots, stem, and flower of C. roseus were used, and extracts were tested for antibacterial activity. Antibacterial activity of C. roseus extracts against Staphylococcus aureus was not observed. The antifungal activity of the leaf extract in ethanol against pathogenic fungi is also determined. The title role of environmental factors on the antimicrobial properties of this plant was also investigated in this study.
