  The present study was conducted from November 2013 to April 2014 in Addis Ababa University, College of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture, Debre Zeit, Ethiopia on the in-vitro antibacterial activities of the steam bark of Combretum molle, the leaves of Xanthium strumarium and FR1 against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from bovine clinical mastitis. The in-vitro antimicrobial test was found with encouraging results against the test bacteria. Among the plant preparations which were tested the Mean Zone of Inhibition (MZI) of Xanthium strumarium was found with the widest zone of inhibition when compared with the other two with Mean Zone of Inhibition (mm) of 20.5, 18.5, 16, 15.25, and 13 to the 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1.25%, and 0.625% concentrations, respectively against Staphylococcus aureus. The Mean Zone of Inhibition (mm) of FR1 was found to be 23.25, 21.25, 18... Read More»
