Many species have been used in the folk medicine to treat infectious diseases, and some of their anti-microbial activities have been proved. In fact, the anti-microbial activity has been recognized in different species of vegetal families, and this activity is usually due to the presence of secondary metabolites.
Syzygium jambolanum is commonly known in Brazil as 'Jambolao', in India as Naval pazham and in English-speaking countries as jambolan, sweet olive or java plum. This species, from the myrtle family (Myrtaceae), has been used to treat illnesses caused by bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens, ulcers in genitourinary tract caused by Candida albicans, as well as cold, cough, fever and skin problems such as rashes and the mouth, throat and intestines .

The antimicrobial activity of S. jambolanum has been confirmed in vitro by some authors using bacteria strains or Leishmania promastigotes .
