Comparative Antiseptic Effects of Some locally Used Plant Products on Isolated Skin Microorganisms

This research was undertaken to test the efficacy of three locally used plant products (shear butter, palm kernel oil and black soap) and their synergistic combinations against selected skin microbes. One hundred and twenty (120) swab sticks were used to collect skin associated organisms from body parts (leg, knee, head, chest, face, back, armpit and areas affected by heat rashes) among volunteers with Makurdi metropolis, Nigeria. Microbial culture, identification and sensitivity tests followed standard microbiological practice.
