ABSTRACT
In the present study of phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity of seed extract of Carica papaya. N-Hexane extract of Carica papaya seed sample were obtained using maceration. The extraction was carried out by soaking the sample in N-Hexane and kept for 48hrs with shaking at regular intervals. The anti-microbial activity of Carica papaya was studied using wet diffusion method. The activity was tested against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi at different concentrations. The phytochemical screening was done according to standard method. The screening showed the presence of alkaloid, saponins and tannins among others.
