is a prolific producer of novel phytochemicals [25]. In
the search for active compounds from C. odorata, the majority of
research has been performed on extracts of the leaves which
inhibited the growth of clinical bacteria such as Escherichia coli, and
Staphylococcus aureus. However, it has not been tested on
phytopathogenic bacteria such as Ralstonia solanacearum and
Xanthomonas vesicatoria. It is clear that leaf extract with methanolic
solvent showed varied degree of inhibitory effect on both clinical and
plant pathogens. This might be due to the solubility of active
