In this study antimicrobial activity of aqueous and ethanolic extraction of Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Desf. var. microphylla leaves was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Salmonella dublin, Yeast and Candida albicans isolated from animals in Laboratory of Microbiology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Khartoum, Sudan. Leaves extracts were prepared at concentration of 20g/100 ml and the agar diffusion method was adopted to assess the antimicrobial activity of the prepared extracts against the isolated microorganisms. The results indicated that, the ethanolic Extract (E) and aqueous extract (W) were affected, the diameter of the inhibitory zone in cm was ranged between 1.60- 2.90 cm in W while in E the zones between 2.20- 3.50 cm.
