Abstract
Based on ethnopharmacological information, four different varieties of seeds were obtained from authentic seedsuppliers. Ethanol, methanol, acetone, chloroform and petroleum ether seed extracts were assessed for antibacterialactivity against wound isolates of Multi Drug Resistant - Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MDR-MRSA).Ethanol, methanol and acetone extracts of Moringa oleifera, Elettaria cardamomum and Tamarindus indica seedsshowed more effective anti MRSA activity than Artocarpus heterophyllus. In addition Moringa oleifera seed extractsmay have the potential to restore the effectiveness of $\beta$-lactam antibiotics against MRSA.
