Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasing global health concern that demands alternative therapeutic strategies. Medicinal plants such as Clitoria ternatea (butterfly pea) are potential sources of natural antimicrobial agents due to their bioactive compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of methanolic extract of C. ternatea leaves against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella sonnei, and Staphylococcus aureus.
