The antimicrobial activity of a methanolic extract of Buckinghamia celsissima leaves was investigated by disc diffusion assay against a panel of bacteria and fungi. B. celsissima leaf extractinhibited the growth of 5 of the 14 bacteria tested (36%). Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria were both affected by B. celsissima extract although Gram-positive bacteria were more susceptible. 3 of 11 Gram-negative (27%) and 2 of the 3 Gram-positive bacteria tested (67%) had their growth inhibited by B. celsissima extract. B. celsissima leaf extractdisplayed antifungal activity towards Candida albicans when tested by disc diffusion assay and inhibited the growth of the
