                ABSTRACT
Lannea acida is a plant known to have various medicinal and therapeutic properties. The 
phytochemicals or secondary metabolites and antibacterial activity of its root and stem bark were 
studied in this research work. The phytochemical screening of the plant was carried out using  standard methods of analysis and these investigations revealed the presence of bioactive  components comprising flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, terpenoids, glycosides and 
phenols while tannins were not detected in both the root and stem bark of the plant. The plant  was extracted with water and 100% methanol via cold maceration method and the extracts were 
subjected to antibacterial activities using the agar plate disc diffusion and nutrient broth dilution   techniques. against E. coli, S. aureus and Shigella spp to ascertain its medicinal and therapeutic  properties at various concentrations range from 50 mg/mL – 6.25 mg/mL. From the study it was  observed that the stem bark extract has the higher antibacterial activity against E. coli and  Shigella spp with mean zone of inhibition of 18.50 ± 0.02 and 14.10 ± 0.12 mm while the root 
recorded the higher antibacterial activity against S.aureus with mean zone of inhibition of 16.37 
± 0.07 mm. The result indicates that the extracts of the root and stem bark of this plant possess antibacterial  activities.
