tetracycline, penicillin and ciproflaxin. The extracts showed presence of saponins, steroids, glycosides, flavonoids, terpenes, alkanoids, phenolics and tanins. Conclusion The demonstrated antibacterial activity of Securidaca longipeduclulata against Neiserria gonohoreae provides a scientific basis for the traditional use in treating venereal diseases in Kenya. This investigation and further studies will pave way for use of this plant in antibacterial drug development for alleviating human suffering and open u reseach in discovery of new antimicrobial a gents.
