This study was aimed at investigating the anti-bacterial activity of some on shelf herbal medicines for treatment of Cholera and Typhoid in markets. The sample was collected from shops that sell herbal medicines using random sampling to investigate the effectiveness of these herbal medicines on Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serotype typhi. It was noticed that all the four herbal medicines that were subjected to antibacterial activities using E. coli and S. typhi, showed effect on the bacteria. Diameters of zones of inhibition was measured, which showed that zone of inhibition varies among the on shelf herbal medicines. Serial dilution was also carried out to check for the effect of concentration. Herbal Medicine for Typhoid 1 showed the highest zone of inhibition 14.36 mm and the lowest zone of inhibition was Herbal Medicine for Cholera 1 with 10.17mm on S. Typhi. While for E. coli, the highest zone of inhibition was 12.83mm shown by Herbal Medicine for Cholera 2 and the lowest was 10.25mm shown by Herbal Medicine for Typhoid 1.
