In this research, hexane and acetone extracts of Bauhinia rufences, Securidaca longepedunculata and Ziziphus abyssinica were investigated for antibacterial activity. The phytochemical screening of the plants leaves extracts was conducted using standard methods of analyses. The effects of the two solvent extracts on the bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Psuedomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aereus) were determined using agar well diffusion method. The most susceptible…
