Background  Multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria are responsible for therapeutic failure and there is an urgent need for novels compounds efficient on them.    Methods  Eleven methanol extracts from seven Cameroonian medicinal plants were tested for their antibacterial activity using broth micro-dilution method against 36 MDR bacterial strains including  Escherichia coli ,  Enterobacter aerogenes ,  Enterobacter cloacae ,  Klebsiella pneumoniae ,  Providencia stuartii ,  Pseudomonas aeruginosa  and  Staphylococcus aureus .    Results    Euphorbia prostrata  extract was found active against all the 36 tested bacteria including Gram-negative phenotypes over-expressing efflux pumps such as  P. aeruginosa  PA124,  E. aerogenes  CM64 and  E. coli  AG102.  E. prostrata  had minimal inhibitory concentrations values between 128 and 256 µg/mL on 55.55% of the studied microorganisms. Other plants extract displayed selective antibacterial activity.    Conclusions  Results obtained in this study highlight the antibacterial potential of the tested plants and the possible use of  E. prostrata  to combat bacterial infections including MDR phenotypes.

Multidrug resistant bacteria are sensitive to Euphorbia prostrata and six others Cameroonian medicinal plants extracts
