  Multi-drug resistant is a global public health concern. There has been an increase in infections caused by multidrug resistant micro-organisms in Sub Saharan Africa. This has led to extended illness, expensive health care and deaths. This experimental study was aimed to determine the anti-microbial activity of aqueous and methanol leaf extracts of Warbugia ugandensis, Moringa oleifera and Aloe vera on standard bacteria and multi-drug resistant clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Tetracycline drug was used as the reference drug. The bacteria were treated with extracts at different concentrations to determine the zones of inhibition through Agar Diffusion Assay, minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration assays. Raw data was analyzed using one-way and .. Read More»
