For this reason, antibiotic drugs discovery was a relief for humanity because it allowed to significantly deplete the incidence of infectious diseases, especially in western countries [3]. Nevertheless, the inappropriate use of antimicrobials brought about bacteria multidrug-resistance. Among these pathogenic agents, are Staphylococcus aureus. In developing countries, for cultural and financial reasons, people address plant-based medications to treat infectious diseases. The great interest for traditional medicine could be explained by the higher cost of modern medication added up to the emergence of bacteria resistance [4]. In order to face these obstacles to public healthcare, urgent initiatives were taken to seek for natural compounds potentially active and efficient for patients’ effective treatment. To achieve this goal, medicinal plants were explored as an immense reservoir. That encompasses antibacterial bearing species. In so doing, Funtumia africana Stapf (Apocynaceae) was identified as a traditional medication that cures pneumonia, women unfertility, coughing, diarrhea, urinary infections, tuberculosis and chronic wounds [5]. Therefore, the present work aims at evaluating the antibacterial activity of the leaf extracts of F.africana against methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, secondary metabolites were screened out to reveal prospective new active compounds.
