This study was carried out to investigate the antimicrobial activity of the plant against different microorganisms especially those responsible for sexually transmitted infections which is becoming endemic in Africa. Hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the plant and chromatographic fractions were screened against seven pathogenic organisms comprising gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi. The extracts and fractions displayed potent antimicrobial activity against these organisms, giving Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) ranging from 0.75 to 12.5 (mu)g mL^-1 for the fractions. The results suggest that extracts of J. multifida could be used in treating sexually transmitted bacterial infections. Phytochemical screening of the extracts also showed the presence of steroids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins and glycosides.
