<title>ANTIBIOGRAM PROFILE OF PATHOGENIC FUNGI ON SEIDENFIA RHEEDII LEAF EXTRACTS </title>
<abstract>Antibiogram profile of various pathogenic fungi on different solvent extracts of  lessThan i greaterThan Seidenfia rheedii  lessThan /i greaterThan leaf were evaluated using the paper disc agar diffusion method by measuring the diameter of the growth inhibition zones. Among various solvent extracts tested, ethanol leaf extracts exhibited greater inhibition followed by ethyl acetate and chloroform solvent extracts. The petroleum ether, ethanol (1: 1) showed a low degree of inhibition on test fungi whereas no activity was associated with aqueous extract of  lessThan i greaterThan Seidenfia rheedii lessThan /i greaterThan . The zones of inhibition for each extract was compared with standard antibiotics. The inhibition zones of each solvent extracts found to be either less than or nearly equal to the inhibition zones of standard antibiotics. The leaf extracts showed greater inhibition than the other parts used).From the results achieved there appears to be a rationale for the use of this plant to combat infectious diseases,  lessThan i greaterThan Seidenfia rheedii  lessThan /i greaterThan had an inhibitory effect on the pathogenic fungi causing infections in human beings. Hence,  lessThan i greaterThan Seidenfia rheedii  lessThan /i greaterThan would be the effective plant as it demonstrated good activity against fungi. This would add merit to its traditional use in the treatment of infectious diseases.</abstract>
