ABSTRACT
The antimicrobial activities of Moringa oleifera
leaves and seeds were tested in vitro using disc diffusion method. The minimum
inhibitory concentration determination against human pathogenic organisms was
also determined. At the concentration of lOOmg/ml, the extracts potential
activity against: Pseudomonas and Escherichia coli were tested. The ethanolic
extracts of the leaves and seed Salomonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus and
Escherichia coli respectively. The zones of inhibition for ethanol extracts of
leaves ranged from 12mm-20rnm while that of seeds ranged from 9mm-15mm. The
aqueous extract for leaves and seed ranged from 7mm-10mm and 8mm-llmm. The
consequences of this investigation suggest that the leaves and seeds of be used
to discover antimicrobial agent for developing new pharmaceuticals to control
human pathogenic organisms responsible for illness. vii | Moringa oleifera can
