ABSTRACT
The
antibacterial activities ofsome detergents sold in Umuahia Main Market, were
tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Proteus sp by agar
well diffusion method. These organisms are usually present in the environment.
Ariel had the highest zone of inhibition on Staphylococcus aureus 24mm, 17mm
and 14mm on 100ml, 200ml and 500ml respectively. Bonux followed with 20mm on E.
coli with 20mm, 16mm and 11mm on 100ml, 200ml 500ml While Jumbo had the
least zone of inhibition on Proteus sp 14mm, 10mm and 6mm
on 100ml, 200ml and 500ml v on Proteus sp 14mm, 10mm and 6mm on From
