Nearly 60% of the world’s population and pharmaceuticals depends on natural plants as
a source for treating human ailments. In this context, Ziziphus jujube has been called a multipurpose
tree from time immemorial as it has immense medicinal and Phytopharmacological properties. The
present study was involved in establishing the antimicrobial effect of the leaves, seeds, and fruits of
Ziziphusjujuba. Hence, the crude extracts of different parts of the above-mentioned multipurpose tree
had been tested to determine their antimicrobial nature against two gram-positive and five gramnegative bacterial species in which all the extracts showed more potent antibacterial activity against
gram-negative bacterial species than gram-positive bacteria. The crude extracts obtained from the
leaf, seeds and fruits of Ziziphus jujube were also tested to determine its antifungal activity against
Candida albicans, Aspergillusniger, and Trichopytontonsurans. The results stated that all three crude
extracts were effective against Candida albicans and Aspergillusniger when compared with
Trichopytontonsurans.
