  Author(s): Felix O Alao, Zacchaeus S Ololade* and Yusuf A. Fagge
  
  This study was conducted to determine the secondary metabolites and antibacterial potential of the leaf extracts Newbouldia laevis on some uropathogen strains and also to carry out phytochemical screening of the sample. The antibacterial activity of N. laevis leaves extracted with methanol, hot and cold water were evaluated against medically important bacteria strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Enterococcus faecalis. The results showed a remarkable inhibition of the bacteria growth against the tested organisms with Staphylococcus saprophyticus had highest activity (20 mm). In general, all the tested organisms showed a significant activity with the extracts. The conventional antibiotics used against these organisms showed that all the isolates were resistant to aug..
