Abstract
This study assessed the comparatively antimicrobial activity of ethanol extracts of Commiphora Africana and Boswellia dalzielii. The crude ethanol extracts of their dried stem bark were obtained by macerating powdered in ethanol for 72 h. The extracts were evaluated using modified agar-well diffusion technique. All extracts showed strong activity against the test gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. C. Africana (IZD, 20 mm and 15 mm) exhibited greater potency than B. dalzialii (IZD, 12 mm and 10 mm) against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, respectively at the same concentration (100 mg/mL). S. aureus showed greatest susceptibility while P. aeruginosa was the least for both extracts. The stem bark extract of C. Africana possess greater antimicrobial activity compared to B. dalzielii.
