Antimicrobial Activity of Warburgia ugandensis on Selected Standard Organisms that Cause Urinary Tract Infections

Background: The antimicrobial effect of Warburgia ugandensis has been recognized for many years in developing countries especially East Africa. However, limited investigations have focused on its microorganisms causing urinary tract infection.
 Objective: To determine the activity selected standard that cause infections i.e. Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Candida albicans 10231), Proteus mirabilis 25933), and Staphylococcus aureus 25923).
 Methods: stem bark was obtained from Tooro Botanical centre were shade dried. aqueous ethanolic extracts prepared evaluated phytochemical components using semi qualitative screening techniques. three bacteria; aureus, coli, one fungus tested by agar well diffusion broth dilution which to obtain Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Bactericidal (MBC) plant respectively.
 Results: Phytochemical showed presence tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins terpenoids both extracts. bacteria susceptible extract caused significant inhibition microbial growth with highest observed (MIC 0.49mg/ml), while less susceptibility having an MIC 1.95mg/ml so MBC/MFC, had MBC 7.81mg/ml. same pattern more (MFC 15.63mg/ml) as compared 62.5mg/ml)
 Conclusion: exhibit against infection organisms. methods. This study further shows potential being a novel source modern drugs studies these results provide some new perspectives traditional uses treating infections.
