The chloroform seed extracts of Moringa Oleifera (CSEMO) showed significant antibacterial activity against twenty different gram positive as well as gram negative bacterial strains__ampersandsignnbsp; Staphylococcus aureus 29737, Staphylococcus aureus ML 267, Sarcina luteus 9341, Bacillus pumilus 8241, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 10536, Escherichia coli VC Sonawave 3:37 C, Escherichia coli CD/99/1, Escherichia coli RP4, Escherichia coli 18/9, Escherichia coli K88, Shigella dysenteriae 1, Shigella soneii 1, Shigella soneii BCH 217, Shigella flexneri type 6, Shigella boydii 937, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 25619, Vibrio cholerae 2, Vibrio cholerae 785, Vibrio cholerae 1037 when compared with Ciprofloxacin (200 __ampersandsignmu;g/ml) which was used as standard antibacterial by using disc diffusion method.. For gram positive bacteria the CSEMO showed highest sensitivity against Staphylococcus aureus 29737 which was 16.66__ampersandsignplusmn;0.33 mm and the lowest activity of 08.52__ampersandsignplusmn;0.61 in Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633. While regarding gram negative bacteria CSEMO showed highest sensitivity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 25619 which was 15.00__ampersandsignplusmn;0.57 on the other hand it showed minimum activity against Shigella soneii BCH 217 measured as 8.150.10.
