To improve clinical management of recalcitrant bacterial infections, alternative therapy such as medicinal plant products are now being evaluated. This study investigates the antimicrobial effects of &lt;em&gt;Garcinia kola&lt;/em&gt; fractions on clinical isolates of multidrug resistant gram negative bacteria and Candida. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Acinetobacter baumannii&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Serratia marcescens&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Candida species&lt;/em&gt; were used for the study. Microbial isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out using basic microbiological procedures. Confirmation of all isolates was done using the VITEK 2 compact automated system (BioMerieux, Marcy I&amp;rsquo;Etoile France). The powdered dried seeds of&lt;em&gt; G. kola&lt;/em&gt; were extracted with 70% methanol for 7 days, using a cold maceration method. The crude extracts were evaporated to dryness, using different solvents to obtain the fractions according to standard fractionation techniques. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The aqueous, butanol, chloroform and hexane fractions at minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 25mg/ml were active against &lt;em&gt;A. baumannii&lt;/em&gt;. Ethyl acetate fraction at MIC of 20 mg/ml also produced growth inhibition of same isolates. At the same MICs, the different fractions were observed to inhibit the growth of candida albicans (CF1) isolate. Overall, aqueous fraction of &lt;em&gt;G. kola&lt;/em&gt; produced more growth inhibition followed by butanol fractions, with chloroform fractions producing the least effects. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The antibacterial potencies of these extracts could be useful for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant&lt;em&gt; A. baumannii&lt;/em&gt;. The aqueous fraction showed better activities than the other fractions studied.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1055</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lorina Ineta Badger-Emeka&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;*, Hany Ezzat Khalil&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Promise Madu Emeka&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Indomethacin (10 mg/ kg), the reference drug induced 100% inhibition of carrageenan-induced paw oedema. While GB1 (50 mg/kg) and GB2 (50 mg/kg) was prominent at 4, 5 and 6 h post administration. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Results showed that the extract possessed anti-inflammatory activity, which have justified their use in Nigeria traditional medicine to treat inflammation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">56</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tchimene Kenne Michel&lt;sup&gt;1,3*&lt;/sup&gt;, Anaga Arua Ottoh&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Ugwoke Christopher Emeka Chukwunonye&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Ezugwu Christopher Obodoike&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Okunji Christopher&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and Iwu Maurice Mmaduakolam&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
