Objective. To evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activities of five plant extracts which have been used as traditional medicines by local\nhealers against three multidrug resistant bacteria, namely, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.\nResults.The highest mean zone of inhibition (4.66 mm) was recorded from methanol extract of Calpurnia aurea (Ait.) Benth. at a\nconcentration of 200mg/ml against S. aureus, followedby Croton macrostachyusDel. (4.43 mm) at the same dose and solvent for the\nsame bacterial species, while methanol and chloroformextracts of E. brucei Schwein. did not inhibit growth of any bacterial species.\nThe lowest value (100
