Abstract

A study was Carrie's to determine phytochemical and antibacterial activity of the metabolic seed extract of Acacia nilotica. Standard method was used to determine the antibacterial activity and phytochemical. The results obtained shows that all the phytochemical constitute were present except saponins for the antibacterial activity E. coli has the highest zone( 3.95mm) of inhibition in the ethanol extract while Salmonella typhi has the lowest zone of inhibition (1.55mm): The finding from the phytochemical analysis of Acacia nilotica seed underscore it's potential as a source of bioactive compounds with significant medicinal properties. Future research should focus on isolating these compounds to further explore their pharmacological activities and mechanisms of action against specific pathogens.
