Abstract: The Ebenaceae family has 500 species in this genus, making it the most dominant. Traditional therapeutic systems have been using these for thousands of years. An agar well diffusion method was used to assess the antibacterial activity of the isolated compounds. One fungus and three human pathogenic bacterial strains were tested for the antibacterial activity of Diospyros chloroxylon leaf methanol crude extracts. Nearly all bacterial strains exhibit possible antibacterial activity against the methanolic leaf extracts of Diospyros chloroxylon. Gentamycin was utilized as the antibacterial control, and fluconazole was utilized as the antifungal control. The concentration of the examined zone of inhabitation (1000 ug/ml to 1 ug/ml) is the zone of inhibition of Diospyros chloroxylon methanol leaf extract against some pathogenic bacteria.
