Then was filtered and allowed to evaporate. The antibacterial activity was determined by observing minimum inhibitory concentration of both extract toward staphylococcus growth.<br/><br/>Results: Aqueous Plectranthus barbatus extract indicated antibacterial activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 0.2G/ML and ethanoic extract of Plactranthus barbatus had minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.0063GM/ML.<br/><br/>Conclusion: Ethanoic extract and aqueous extract of Plectranthus barbatus are useful in the control and prevention of diseases caused by staphylococcus aureus. <br/>
