Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan parasite found in water sources, causes toxoplasmosis, with no current protocols for inactivating its oocysts water. Staphylococcus aureus, significant bacterial pathogen, is known causing various illnesses, including skin infections and biofilm-related diseases. This study investigated the antibacterial antiparasitic properties of Ipomoea palmata leaf extract, rich phenolics, against T. gondii tachyzoites S. aureus. I. extract significantly reduced count peritoneal fluids liver smears infected mice alleviation toxoplasmosis-induced hepatitis. SEM showed surface irregularities from treated groups. The demonstrated action aureus minimum inhibitory concentration 128 to 512 µg/mL, biofilm formation 69.23% 15.38% tested isolates, downregulated genes (cna, fnbA, ica) 53.85% isolates. Treatment improved architecture, inflammation, eliminated blood vessel congestion. main phenolic acids identified by HPLC/UV analysis were chlorogenic acid, gallic ellagic methyl gallate, while predominant flavonoids apigenin, quercetin, naringenin. These findings highlight potential as natural antimicrobial agent, warranting further research isolate evaluate active compounds.
