Abstract
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) belongs to malvaceae family and its widely cultured in the world for its fibrous fruits which contain round white seeds. In this study the bioactive compounds where extracted by using many solvents methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate and water. The ethanolic extract where used invitro to determine the antibacterial activity of the extracts of dried fruit okra against some selected potential bacterial pathogens, Klebsiella and E. coli. This research is an experimental study using completely randomized design by using disk diffusion testing method. The object used was the extract of the Okra fruits at concentration of 25%, 50%, 100% and 200%. The zone of inhibition was 3.73mm at 200% with Klebsiella and 3.47 mm with E. coli in comparison with the control 4.4 mm. The least concentration of the extract that completely inhibit the growth of the organism MIC is 30%.
