ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES OF LOCALLY PRODUCED SOAP AGAINST SOME PATHOGENIC ORGANISMS.

ABSTRACT

The evaluation of antimicrobial activities of five (5) brands of differentlocally produced

soap sold in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo state was carried out against

some selected pathogenic organisms (Staphylococcus

aureus,Enterobacteraerogenes,Bacillus cereus,Shigelladysentaries,Salmonella typhin,

Candida albicans,Aspergillusfumigatus). Usually, the antimicrobial analyses

of the soap samples were analysed. The analysis of antimicrobial activities of locally

produced soaps against the pathogenic organisms was carried out using

concentration 1g/2ml for all the soap respectively. The pour plates method was

used to obtained the zone of inhibition of the locally produced soaps onthe

test organisms. The result shows that locally produced soaps exhibited

antimicrobial activities against all the test organisms, when compared with

antibiotics.
