ABSTRACT The efficiency of African black soap commonly used for the treatment of infection associated with Staphyloccus Aureus and Escherichia Coli were studied.The soap was extracted using water and the antibacterial activities of extracts were investigated using chemical isolation of the organism. The Agar well diffusion method was employed for sensivity test of the organism. The zone of inhibition for the test organism staphylococcus Aureus obtained against concentration of 0.05g/ml, 0.10g/ml, 0.15g/ml and 0.20g/ml are 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.8mm and 0.9mm. and for Escherichia Coli are 0.3mm, 0.2mm, 0.4mm and 0.6mm respectively. From the results obtained due to increase in concentration of the samples, it leads to an increase in zone of inhibition of the test organism, Therefore, the results show that the soap has anbtibacterial activity on the test organism.
