Antimicrobial tests showed that the leaves extract is not sensitive towards the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa check for this species in other resources , Staphylococcus aureus check for this species in other resources , Bacillus check for this species in other resources spp and Escherichia coli check for this species in other resources , but inhibited the growth of the fungus Aspergillus niger check for this species in other resources .
