Carica papaya has various medicinal uses ranging from promoting human health, suppressing sicknesses and diseases and also curing and preventing some diseases. The aim of this research is to determine the antibacterial properties of some parts of C. papaya plant (leaf, Ripe and unripe fruits). Aqueous extraction of leaf, epicarp and endocarp of unripe and ripe fruits of the plant was carried out and the extracts were diluted to 500mg/ml, then doubling dilution was carried out for 250mg/ml, 125mg/ml, 62.5mg/ml and 31.25mg/ml. Four test Bacteria used in this work were Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtillis, Klebsiella pneumoniae. The antibacterial activities of the aqueous extracts of the leaf, epicarp and endocarp of unripe and ripe fruits of C. fistula was determined using modified Kirby Bauer well-diffusion sensitivity testing method. The three extracts had bactericidal effect on the Gram Positive test bacteria than the Gram Negative test bacteria. The boost in medicinal herb development and sustenance should be encouraged by policy makers and philanthropists.
