ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and the anti-microbial activity of Oudneya africana R.Br. The anti-microbial assays showed that the extracts of sterols and steroids of the leaves and the fruits inhibited the growth of Pseudomonas and showed a broad spectrum antifungal.
