  Due to an increase in the rate at which microorganism are resistant to antibiotics, there is need to assess the antimicrobial effect of some medicinal plant extracts in the treatment of fish pathogens: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pyogenes, Bacillus substilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Salmonella typhi and Aeromonas hydrophila. The antimicrobial activity and inhibition diameter of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of pawpaw and fluted pumpkin leaves were evaluated against eight (8) clinical strains of bacteria isolated from Clarias gariepinus using agar well diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentration and phytochemical screening of these plants were determined using standard methods. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of .. View More»
