Bromelain is a major protease, isolated from pineapple (Ananas comosus). Bromelain is accumulated in the entire plant to different extent and properties depending on its source. In the present study, Bromelain was extracted from all parts of pineapple using sodium citrate buffer. Bromelain was filtered, centrifuged and used for further studies. After the determination of protease activity and protein content, the Core and Pulp extract of A.comosus was chosen using gelatin as the substrate. The samples were optimized on the basis of pH, temperature, Substrate concentration and etc. After optimization, the Bromelain was tested for antibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens. Among them, Pulp bromelain had maximum inhibition effect on Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumonia and Core bromelain had maximum inhibitory effect on Bacillus subtilis, Proteus vulgaris, Schigella flexneri and Escherichia coli and there was no inhibitory activity for the other tested pathogens.
