Abstract: Objective: To know the antimicrobial medicinal plants of the Haut-Sassandra region (in the west center of Cote d'Ivoire) and to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the most requested species. Methods and results: An ethnobotanical survey conducted in the Haut-Sassandra Region using questionnaires allowed to gather information on the therapeutic uses of antimicrobial plants in the Region. It allowed to make a list of 58 species of plants. The taxon Piptadeniastrum africanum Hook (Fabaceae) is most in demand. The method of double dilution in the liquid and solid medium was used for the evaluation of the antibacterial activity of the extracts of the stem bark of this plant. The MBC / MIC ratio ranges from 1 to 2.25 mg / mL. The ethanolic extract (EE70 %) of the stem bark possesses bactericidal activity on all the tested strains of Staphylococcus aureus. Conclusion: These results reveal that the Haut-Sassandra Region contains interesting antibacterial plants.
