The methods described by Harborne [14] with minor modifications as described previously [2] were used to test for the presence of the active ingredients in the test sample. Ocimum gratissimum L. is a medicinal plant widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions with the leaf decoction usually taken in folk medicine to enhance erectile performance in men although the probable mechanism of actions remains undetermined. []It is believed to have originated in Central Africa and South East Asia. This study thus investigated the antibacterial and antifungal properties of O. gratissimum ethanolic leaf extract and its interaction with some disc antibiotics. The study also intended to verify if the concomitant administration of conventional antibiotics with Ocimium gratisimum which is normally taken as food (spice) will negatively affect its activity. Also, the possibility of alteration of the presence of other exogenous compound and the significance of this alteration in modifying drug interaction will only be determined by detailed pharmacokinetic studies that relate to the distribution of drugs metabolized by the microflora and their potentially active metabolites to the therapeutic response of the patient to the antibiotic. All authors declare that they have no conflict of interest. Ocimum gratissimum is grown for the essential oil that is extracted from its leaves and stems. 2005, 3 (1): 99-103.

In agar diffusion assays, the inhibitory zone diameter produced is the result of the growth of the test organisms and the diffusion of the test agents through the agar, both events occurring simultaneously [15] so it then means that any factor which affects the rate of microbial growth or rate of diffusion of the suspected antimicrobial agent under test, will invariably affect the result.
