RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
This study investigates the antibacterial efficacy of ethanol extract derived from papaya leaves (Carica papaya L.) gel against P. acnes, a bacterium associated with acne vulgaris. Utilizing agar diffusion assays and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination, the antibacterial properties of the papaya leaf extract were evaluated. The results reveal significant inhibitory effects of the extract against P. acnes growth, suggesting its potential as a natural antimicrobial agent for acne management. Insights gained from this research contribute to the exploration of alternative treatments for acne vulgaris.
