A new Schiff base of o-phenylenediamine and m-hydroxybenzaldehyde was synthesized by condensation reaction. The Schiff base and its metal complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II) were then characterized spectroscopically. The complexes were tested for their antimicrobial properties using six selected micro-organisms, viz: (1) Staphylococcus aereus, (2) Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3) Escherichia coli (4) Enterococcus faecalis (5) Klebsiella Pneumonia and (6) Candida albicans. Results showed important antimicrobial activities which are believed to be beneficial and could be applied safely in the treatment of infections caused by any of these bacteria.
